New M17/M18 Maps?

Míshásta

How long will it take before the new stretch of motorway between Gort and Tuam appears on Google Maps? It still only shows the old road.

AA has a map here:

However their route planner still follows the old road.

Only seen that Here maps (https://wego.here.com) has the new road but the route planner also doesn't seem to use the new route yet.
Google might be a couple of weeks/months before it's up there.

Openstreetmap has it

I wasn't aware of Openstreetmap. That's an excellent source of all sorts of info.

Openstreetmap is updated by Joe Public so someone likely had that drawn up and ready to go for launch day - it's always the most up to date map.

For Google maps it requires someone to draw it, and another person to approve it, then Google to review and approve. For minor roads (new estates) it can take 2/3 months, for a new motorway, hopefully much shorter.

Looks like it's on google maps now. 59 mins from Galway to Shannon Airport, not bad at all.

What's the recommendation for a route from ennis to Westport - maps is showing me to go via the M17 as far as castlebar but wondering if better to stay on the N84 and go through Ballinrobe?

I would stay on the big road.

Google Maps have added the road and mislabelled it.....

Just for info this new road is now on the latest TT map downloaded this afternoon.
