The opportunity to try the experiment locally should arise when the new Forth Bridge currently under construction opens to traffic; it is due to be completed next year...
It depends which database you use. My car's database is locked into 2007, but my phone is hooked up to Google which continuously updates and improves. The best thing about Google now is that it also monitors traffic and chooses the best route for you based on current traffic conditions, while also giving you surprisingly accurate estimates of your likely arrival time.
