Default Navigation question about updates

I have a 2008 with nav and the " I agree" screen comes on every single time I start the car. Needless to say, sometimes I want to hit it with a hammer instead of press the I agree button. We'll my new 2013 SRX does not do this and only comes up about once every 30 starts. So I upgraded the nav disk in my 08 SRX because this also had the dreaded constant I agree screen and the screen warning went away and became the same as the new 2013 SRX.
For anyone who has upgraded or has the later 2010 - 2013 model Corvettes, have you been successful in taming the "I agree" screen down with an update? If so, I'll order an update tomorrow. Here's hoping!

I have a copy of the 2013 disc and it's the same BS. Only plus is all the maps are on one DVD instead of 2 DVDs.

Really? The "i agree" screen comes up EVERY time on a 2013??😳 If that is the case then there really is no saving grace for this complete unmitigated pos. Being a crappy gps is one thing, but having to "I agree" after all these years is quite another and I am really getting tired of it. May start looking for suggestions for the best aftermarket.

I don't see what the big deal is. It takes a second to hit the "I Agree" button, then it goes to the Nav screen.

It's an antiquated system, but once you learn it, it really does an OK job as a GPS, although the graphics are not that good compared to Garmin of Tom Tom.
All the GPS systems have their plus and negatives.

Your best bet is to get an aftermarket system, because of your dislike for the OEM NAV.

I have a 2012 GS and it doesn't do this every time I start the car. I also went to http://www.theredlion.us/Tech%20tips2.htm and read all I could about this nav system. It really is a good GPS once you know how it operates and learn how to use it. Thanks to The Red Lion site I like my nav system. jmho
