Heres my problem. I have a 2005 TL and the routing algorithm is awful. When I travel long distances, it routinely finds routes that are hours off. I've tried all of the options shortest time, shortest distance, etc.

I only use the cars navi for short trips and I keep my garmin gps in my glovebox and use that instead for long trips.

So what I am wondering is if there are 3rd party "hacks" that will update the actual navigation software to use something with more efficient routing software.

Note: I am not looking for a map DVD. I've already done that.

no. there are no hacks. you are simply dealing with an outdated system that came out in early 2003.

you are correct in using a 3rd party hardware to solve your problems.....as MOST of us just use our phones with included GPS (google maps or iOS maps)

Or do a nexus tablet install. A couple of people have done that in here, do a quick search !

He already has the Garmin
which solves his problems without retrofitting!

Thanks for the info. Next time, I'll do better due dliigence on an in-car navi before looking for that option.

Went test driving the new Genesis G70 Dynamic package today with the 3.3L twin turbo. What a super sweet car and the reviews are fantastic. They offered me $36K for my RDX.............

What does this have to do with the GPS unit on a 2005 Acura TL?
