I havn't received navigation update notice from GM as yet. Garmin units are being up scaled by car manufacturers. Free updates provide incentives to enhance Garmin product sales.

My audi was quoted around $400 for a Navi update... On ebay the audi upgrade dvd cost around $200... It is rather cheap for chevy in comparison But I will update navi every 3~4 years and use my iphone as an insurance for the route if I go somewhere unfamiliar before.

Acura's discs are about $150 for an update. But...they offer them on special for $99 quite a bit of the time.

Pretty much the same for my wife's Infiniti

So, if I understand this correctly, the update will NOT be a dealer installed update, you get it on a flash/jump drive and do it yourself? Your VIN will be required to prevent copies going to other C7 system?

I believe my Jeep quoted me $25. I passed and have been fine with my outdated maps for two years.

$149 for my 2013 Jeep GC Summit. Just came in the mail. I lease the car so I have no interest in the update and any price more than $20.

This is precisely why I passed up NAV on my C7. I only would have paid an initial charge if it was Google Maps based and updates were free.

in other words we were sold a bill of goods .

Got the notice for our '14 convertible today in the mail.

I don't think your wrong. I think as the flagship vehicle for Chevrolet they could easily throw it in. I'm a business person and this is my sixth Vette so I guess I'll pay too.

Kracka

Correct, unless you'd rather have them perform it.

My '05 still has an '07 disc in it, and in the last two years, I've only encountered one instance where the neighborhood didn't exist, yet.

I won't be on the first wagon searching for a new update, on the C7, anytime soon. Waste of a perfectly good greenback, IMO.

I have 2 Garmin units with Lifetime maps for North America.
For trip to Europe, I bought latest Europe map on SD card for $15 on Ebay.
Works great!

Figure in a few yrs, someone will sell a reasonably priced update on Ebay or Amazon....

MikeyTX

Google maps .... I have a phablet LG. fits nicely in its holder. I also have a Garmin w/ lifetime updates. GM can keep its up dates and its nav imho.

I agree with the OP that these updates should be provided without making you teach for your wallet, especially after emptying it to buy the car to begin with.

Seems reasonable, but I won't be doing it. I used the in-car nave ONCE this year because my GF got in and decided to use it from the passenger seat. Most places I go such as client appointments are on my schedule in Google Calendar which links the address to Google Maps automatically if I press the address on the phone.

BTW, if U have Onstar's Directions and Connections all U have to do is send the Directions from your Android or Iphone or Windows app .. and the actual direction will go to the NAV via BING Maps. Up to date already

Here's a link where you can buy the update USB drive: http://gmnavdisc.navigation.com/prod...en_US/GMNA/USD

$160 shipped.

Eh, price one pays for buying the thing in the first place w. all the alternatives available. Just found out another mfr. says after first of year, 169, but before end of year, 90. Sounds like a deal and a lot will take advantage of that number. Or phone, or tomtom, garmin, Magellan.
