Does VE v4 provide less road information in Taiwan than v3?

I'm glad to hear the VE v4 has lauched, but the new map seems to provide less road information in Taiwan, a lot of roads and streets disappear on the new map.

Is it possible for me to use the old version VE map

or has any other solutions

Thanks.

    Ah, I see now. I'll investigate.

    This is the snapshot of the old map:

    It shows roads and streets in detail.

    excuse me but it seems that we share the same problem. i tried to look for anything that would help on the web but in vain. i'm looking forward to the result of the investigation. i would like to know whether this problem is fixable and when would it be fixed. if it is not, i'll be really grateful if i could use the previous version of VE. again, thanks for paying attention to me.

    ps. there is another lapse in VE v4 in Taiwan area.
    Please take a look at the picture below: http://0rz.tw/9228J  
    much to my surprise, seems that the map is patched up with two seperate parts which can hardly match to each other.

    We certainly didn't cut back on road details with this release; if anything, we've added more detail in some places. Can you provide specifics about what you are seeing Perhaps you can go to http://maps.live.com and copy-and-paste a permalink here of an area where you are seeing a lot of roads disappear.

    And to answer your question, you can still use the v3 control--just keep the javascript reference you were using before Monday. But there is one set of maps, so using the older control won't point you to a different set of tiles.
