For all those owners that have posted in any NAV thread this might be of interst to you.
Thanks to our friend from "GROUND ZERO" I was pointed in the direction of the NAV manual.
There is a curious find on p.55. I have confirmed on my side as has acadia7j100001 that the discs in our vehicles are from 2005. This is unacceptable.
Here is what was found.....
From p.55 of NAV MANUAL
Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was
purchased. (That's a load of BS). The map DVD is updated periodically,
provided that the map information has changed.
You will receive two free DVD map disc updates
with the purchase of your new vehicle.[/color] Updates
are necessary to make sure that your vehicle’s
navigation system has the most accurate
information available about streets/roads,
points of interest, and business locations.
The updates are provided by the GM Nav Disc
Center at the first and second anniversary dates of
your vehicle’s delivery date. About four to six weeks
before those anniversary dates, you will receive a
post card from the GM Nav Disc Center reminding
you that a free update is available. The center will
request confirmation of your mailing address either
by having you contact the toll-free number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472), or the center’s
website, www.gmnavdisc.com.[/color] After verifying your
address you should receive the updated disc in
about two weeks. After receiving the updated disc,
replace the old disc in the navigation system. See
“Installing the DVD Map Disc” and “Ejecting the
DVD Map Disc” under Maps on page 19. Dispose of
the old disc to avoid confusion about which disc is
the most current.
If you have any questions about the operation of the
navigation system or the update process, call the
GM Nav Disc Center or go to the center’s website.[/color]
If you need any future updates or a replacement
disc, because the current disc is lost, damaged, or
needs to be updated, call the GM Nav Disc Center
or order a new disc online. To order a disc, have
your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) available.
This helps the center make sure you receive the
correct and most up to date DVD map disc for your
vehicle. See “Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)”
in the Index of your vehicle’s owner manual for
more information.
So I highlighted some key parts. Acadia7j10001 said he will look into it when he returns from vacation and see what happens. If there is no answer or course of action determined from their I plan on caling the NAV Disc Center and have a little talk with them and get an updated disc.
Please check back here for an updat ein a few days.
Thanks.
Joe
