Anyone here wanna help a fellow Vette owner out and burn me a copy of the 3.0 disc? I (like many of the others) was an unlucky '05 buyer and therefore get no love from GM on Nav updates
!
Luckily I was able to locate another forum member who was nice enough to burn me a copy of the v2.0 disc. It is really easy to do & I can walk you through it if you don't mind spending a few minutes to show your fellow corvetteforum member some love. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to display it to everyone.
Thanks guys!

You guys should have seen the version 1 that came in my 05! West of the Mississippi River there was just blue space with pictures of sea dragons......!!
Actually, I have all three versions and there are some differences that I have noticed in the data, but it usually has to do with interstate construction and some new information in the POI database. I really should update only every other year, but I can't resist.

We can all contribute to better nav data. Go to the following site to provide updates/corrections to teleatlas (the developer):

I have the 3.0 version that I got in 4 days from the GM disc center after I called their toll-free number. Good service.
GM does not make the discs - Denso does. They have many on staff who drive about the country looking for any changes. The information does not get to them by osmosis. If it's not on the master map and you don't tell them about the omission, it may never appear.
