Sounds weird to me i guess because i come from the honda community, where there arent exactly cookie-cutter maps being sold by vendors... vendors sell the tuning solution itself, then you download a widely available basemap that someone has posted that is somewhat close to your setup, then take it to a tuner and get it dyno tuned.

Ive always thought of basemaps as a starting point, ive never thought of them as something that somebody bottles and sells.
