Anyone have any info on a v2017 map update. I'd hate to buy the v2016 released last Jan and find that the newer version is coming out soon.
I paid the $169 and upgraded from a 2012 to a 2016 and couldn't tell the difference. I'm sure some roads were added but I never found them. Finally I swapped it out for a Kenwood with Garmin. Much better.
I'll pass on this one since I have the 2016 version 10.
There were more roads added to the version 10 from version 9. It appears any road finished prior to 2015 was added to the 2016 version.
I would suspect that the 2017 would have any road finished prior to 2016.
Most of the updates are POI's (restaurants, gas stations, hotels, etc. which are likely sponsored and paid for by the brands.
It's too bad that the updates don't include upgrading the graphics to the 21st century.
I bought the 2017 update up from the orig in my 2008 new one has many great updates and for $159 it was worth it the old disc took me on a closed rood and the new one took me the correct way. JAY

That's a USB stick for a 2016 C7. I have been on that site today and called them this morning. There has been no release since Jan 2016, v10.00.

I'd be interested in knowing where you found the 2017 update. Someone on ebay is selling 2017 updates, but they are actually old maps copied on disk and labeled as 2017. I think he's selling them for around $15. but read the reviews about what you really get.
I spoke with GM Nav today and they said they didn't have any release date for anything after the 2016 released last Jan.
Mine is the latest same as shown in previous posts I purchased it from the GM site JAY
OK, so that's the 2016 version 10.00 released Jan 2016. I was hoping someone might have heard if and when GM would release a newer version. There have been some road changes around Charlotte and I'd like to get then included if possible. The GM Nav site guy said he had no advance notice when or even if they would release a newer version for the C6.
ByRiver, could you tell any difference in the version 10? Was it a GM disc or a copy? Thanks
It was a copy. If you hadn't seen the original disc, you probably wouldn't notice the overlay printing on the disc wasn't as crisp as the GM disc, but it was still better than paying $179.
I had version 8 previously. There were new highways, bridges, and ramps in my area built in the past four years that weren't on my old disc, but were all included on the new disc. It gave me everything I needed, except better graphics of course. Those still suck.
I heard the 2016 is the last one that will be produced......
I'm probably the guy who has been spreading that rumor. We have a 2005 Toyota Camry with factory nav that's almost identical to the C6 nav except even less intuitive to use than the Corvette version. The discs seem to be interchangeable.
The Toyota nav disc website says the update they came out with last year will be the last one produced for those cars, so I suspect the C6 nav may not get any more updates either. But that's just a guess.
Since I really like the HUD interface with the nav, I prefer to avoid the aftermarket systems despite their nice features.
