GM Navigation DVD #22944166
Sent them an email on 4-13-15 to let them know I have not received it and the number they supplied does not show up on the USPS Tracking site.
They answered in brief: Hi, nothing to worry there, it only shows that USPS is notified about package and it is waiting for it in USA. POST is to blame for delays.
Sent email 4-20-15 to let them know it has been eighteen days and I still do not have my disc & I am requesting a full refund. As of today No response !!! contacted my credit card company to file a non- delivery claim. My opinion do not waste your time with this company.

After reading this thread, I decided to just pony up and pay for the GM OEM version. I got the newest disc for $179 (plus tax and shipping), after their so called $20 discount. It came in the mail about 4 days later and it works fine. Do I still feel a little ripped off based on the absurd price? Yes, but it works and no hassles.

The nice thing is that the discs are not tied to any particular vehicle or navigation head unit and work in multiple years and vehicles so they sell very fast

The big thing for me living in the Dove Mountain area in far NW Tucson was the newest and by far the best way to access many areas including I10 freeway was via Twin Peaks Road but that was not on the version 8 maps. Without that road update the nav was not of much use coming or going from where I lived because with version 8 it calculated much longer out of the way routes every time.

Maybe I'm not doing it correctly, but when I click on your link there an option on the homepage to search for maps. I clicked on that and it sent me to gmnavdisc.com, and of course the price is $179 plus shipping. How did you get $50.00 off? Or what am I doing wrong?
I had done a Google search for the map number 22944166 and one of the links that popped up was a link to the HERE site with the map on sale for $50 off and it worked and the map disc was shipped directly from HERE.

Swap out MP3 Unit and install a Pioneer NAV
Has anyone had good luck with after market NAV systems for C6's?
I have a MP3 audio system in my 2008 Vette and want to replace it with a NAV system. The C6 NAV systems were a piece of %$#@, I prefer to have an after market unit with backup camera. Anyone have any suggestions?

Here's the answer I got from the GM Navigation Center: Thank you for contacting General Motors Navigation Center. At this time the release date of the next update for your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette has not been officially announced. Generally updates are released every 12-18 months.
This was on 4/8/15.

According to their schedule they are somewhere between 1 and 1 1/2 years late because the last update for the C6's came out 2 1/2 years ago.

My friend bought a 2013 C6 late last year and the NAV disk were missing, the dealer order new disk and they were for 2013 C6 Version 9, probably the last version that I am aware of.
