Default NAV Disc 5.0

Is 5.0 two (2) discs versus a single disc for East and West States?

...There's quite a bit of overlap one disk to the other. That's very important for those of us who live near the Mississippi River -- the presumptive dividing line. I can usually get along with the "west" DVD here in the St. Louis metro area. It's not like I have to use the "east" disk for origins/destinations on the Illinois side of the river, and the "west" disk for o/ds on the Missouri side. That would have been a real PITB.

I have a 2005, received no free updates, however did purchase an update for 199 back in 2007. I noticed no difference. Can anyone honestly say that they have received a newer version that was actually better?? Just wondering--eddie

Add another person to the list that got the disk today. I hope GM is around so I can get my last free update next year.

Yes, there are two discs. Both discs contain all the roads for the entire country and Canada. The only difference between the east/west discs is the POI database. As mentioned above, there is significant overlap between the two discs. For example, all of Kentucky is on both discs. If I travel east, I would use one disc; if I go west, I use the other. In either case, all the POI data for Kentucky is available.

Yes. Version 5 is the first one that has our street on it. (We live in a fairly new development; our street was not on Version 4.)
