Has anyone tried the new Map update
Just wondering if anyone has bought the new map upgrade CD.
I got an email from GM it's $159 with 20 dollar rebate...

I have it, too. That's a good price -- I didn't get the $20 rebate (I bought the upgrade several months ago). 
They charged me just $3.95 for shipping and handling. Very fair, IMO.

Actually, the GM Nav Disc Center shows the latest version as v.2016, part #23286274
The free shipping expired yesterday, the basic offer is while supplies last.
The C6 factory Nav is very similar to the factory Nav in our 2005 Toyota (both made by Denso), discs are somewhat interchangeable. The Toyota website specifically says this is the last update they will make for that nav system, so the same might be true for the C6. If you like the C6 factory nav (I do, because of the HUD), it's possible this is the last chance to get an updated disc.

If any of the aftermarket systems would work with the HUD, I'd be using one today.
We've had two Garmins, six cellphone navs, two "other car company" factory navs, and have convoyed many thousands of miles with other 'vettes who use Garmins. Garmins seem easy to use, but I've seen at least as many goofy directions with them as with the factory nav. All systems work reasonably well, none are perfect. Drivers are even less perfect.

You may not look back, but you'll look down a lot (at the Nav) if you want the volume turned down or have windows open or a big rig beside you or any of a dozen things that can make it hard to hear voice directions.

It makes me think that self driving cars are going to be very entertaining in the future...LOL. There is not a ton of new map info on the newer discs so the system will continue to be functional for a long time into the future.

Another vote for the OEM Nav with HUD integration

$159.00 for a CD is not what I would call a good deal. Too bad the aftermarket has not figured out how to make it work with the HUD. I think I'll do without.

on the price. I managed to get a free update for the 2016 version, or I would of stayed with the 2013 Version 9, which I also got as a free update. It's a long story on those updates.I like the OEM Nav, but mainly because of the HUD integration.
The Garmin has nicer graphics, but is no better in directions than the OEM Nav. It is easier to figure out though.
Yes, I use Garmin in my other vehicles, because they do not have the built in Nav systems. I miss the HUD though

A quick look on the web shows the new disc for our Toyota is $169.
The download update for a C7 is $159, and that's not a disc that you can sell or give away when you update again in the future.

So I just bought a 2006 Z06 with navigation and there was no disc in it, I'm guessing any disc I find up to version 10 will work? I'm not ready to spend $150 so I'd be happy finding an older version on ebay, any suggestions or recommendations?
