So which downloads ARE supported for quality control purposes by Navitotal? - surely not the myriad of map files whose links appear here since you would have neither the time nor the resources to check them all?
NO form of download from the popular GPS Forums is any more, or less, safe than any other.
The best protection for any downloader is the reputation of the uploader (yet another reason for encouraging the disclosure of original uploaders).
In this case KasperskyNL has acknowledged his/her source to be Rotson, the highly respected Moderator of a very popular GPS Forum.
