Navigation update discs
I recently purchased a used nav. After install, and of course theftlock clear (thanks local locksmith freebie) , I noticed it has not been updated. Both car and nav are both 2005. I really think $200 is a bit steep... anyone know where it can be gotten cheaper, other than Ebay?
Thanks in advance!

You really don't need the latest version. Get a version or 2 earlier and they go for around $80-$90 on ebay. I had v. 1 for my 05 and moved up to v. 6 for $80. If you want the latest version you'll have to pay that $200.

Don't expect all the roads missing from your '05 version to be on a new disc, they won't. The updates seem to be more for the paying Advertizers (POI). Roads that were missing on my '05 NAV are missing on my '08 also. Some restaurants that have been closed for years are still shone on the NAV.

2013 Update Corvette $110 Factory Disc GM Pt Number 22944166
I just bought this on Ebay for my 05 It Did a SW upgrade and works great! MP3 files play as well. but they did before off CD. Car came with original NAV disc. Useless around here where there have been many new roads and developments
There is a short bridge that was built over the waterway into the Mall that did not show up on previous version as well as some new development roads. The did show up on this one.

the updates are mostly for POIs. There's usually not much new on the roads.
There are "ways" of getting it for free if you're good enough to scour the web. Just saying...

They tend to have them on sale around the holidays and fathers day for around $150.
