What month do Honda / Acura navigation DVD's get updated?
I have a 2005 Honda Navigation DVD (orange v3.4, I think) in the
factory system in my 2005 Accord. I am looking for updated road maps, and tested in a dealership that the 2006 DVD has some major highway revisions in my area (Boston), but not all of them. I am debating on whether to wait for 2007 or not, in hopes of getting most of the major highway revisions (construction was mostly completed by early 2006). Does anyone know approximately what month the update comes out? Also, how long does it take to filter to new dealership cars, so I can test out the maps? -MVL |

Updates come out in the fall with the new cars (at least with the Pilot), although it can be delayed until winter. You can go to http://www.hondanavi.com/ to see what the current version of the DVD is for your car, and to get a brief list of the updates. -- Mike Iglesias Email: University of California, Irvine phone: 949-824-6926 Network & Academic Computing Services FAX: 949-824-2069 |

What month do Honda / Acura navigation DVD's get updated?
The navi dvd get updated (such as it is) between Oct and Dec of any year.
The data base updates are dubious at best. I would wager 90% that what ever you would like to see in the update, will not be there. It's best to wait several years from the original revision before paying $200 for the updated dvd. I have heard recently that there is a "Buy" and "Try" grace period on the updates, call the Toll Free number found in your owner's manual and ask. wrote: > I have a 2005 Honda Navigation DVD (orange v3.4, I think) in the > factory system in my 2005 Accord. > > I am looking for updated road maps, and tested in a dealership that the > 2006 DVD has some major highway revisions in my area (Boston), but not > all of them. > > I am debating on whether to wait for 2007 or not, in hopes of getting > most of the major highway revisions (construction was mostly completed > by early 2006).

I bought one update for our '03 Accord in '05 and was disappointed by how out of date the information still was. I would never bother with annual updating. Maybe once every second or third year.

The whole DVD thing is a rip-off. $200+ makes $3 a gallon look very
reasonable. I just bought a newly-released Garmin c530 nav unit for $493 shipped. It has version 8 maps (from the same vendor the automakers use) which was just released 2 months ago and seems very up to date, even though there's been a lot of construction in Dallas/Ft.Worth. The update costs $75 to download every 12-18 months if you want. Hmmm. If a download costs $75, there's no excuse for a mailed DVD to cost more than $80. Screw Honda Acura and their $200 DVD's. Screw not being able to access the GPS except sitting in your car. Screw having to use a nav screen to adjust the a/c's fan speed. The satellite radio is confusing enough, without adding nav to the "bargain." |
