That is the version I have and it is the last map upgrade they produced for the C6, bought mine in late 2012.

Hmmm, I guess that is the big question. Is Version No. 9 the last update to be produced?

The back of the disk has no numbers in the center like the original oem disks that came with car, but the case it came in and the label on the disk it self match the original oem disks !!!
I have been testing it since I received it and it shows all new roads & newer department store that the original oem disks do not.
Hope this helps

Put it in to test seems to be working fine. Checked some roads & a new store and it checked out. Took a month to get it, figured I let you know !!!
Latest update !!! Company contacted me today 5-12-15 requesting I send a second payment through Paypal (Which they originally told me I could not pay for disc using paypal). When I filed a claim for non delivered item with the credit card company they issued a credit. All of this because they never answered an email stating I still have not received my item I sent to them on 4-20-15.
Then when I received the item on 5-2-15 I let the credit card company know so they could re-issue the payment, which they did on 5-4-15.(Charge on my account) Now the company is requesting a second payment. Be Advised !!!

Default Navteq, HERE or Whatever They Call Themselves

I little story. I have a 2010 MB and while using the NAV system which is far superior to GM's. While on a road trip and following the map I realized (too late) that the map had me getting off at the wrong exit. When I got home I decided I should update the NAV system. $250.00 later I installed the new data and went on another trip. While on the trip there was a huge traffic tie up (about 10 mile) and wanted to get off the highway and let the system figure out a way around it. Low and behold no exit shown on the NAV map but an exit sign is staring me in the face saying the next exit is 1/4 mile away.

Now I call the company when I get home send them pictures I took while at a standstill showing the sign and the NAV screen in the same photo. BTW the exit had been there for at least 10 years. They blamed it on MB saying that they just supply data and MB is responsible for what and how it is displayed. Then I find out it takes them about a year to put data together before it is available to the car manufacturers.

Moral of the story if you have a 2012 or newer don't waste your time or money on an update because the information is at least a year old or more AND they ask the public to help them and report new road construction so they can consider whether or not they will include it in a future release.
