I just checked, and the current version is the 2006 disc version 4.55. It has been out for quite some time now. I think you read that the disc is for a 2007 RDX not a 2007 version of the disc. There is one place where it says 2007 updates, but I think that is model year kind of like the vehicles. But anyway, 4.55 is the number to go by. Did you check your disc or did you look on screen for your version number? Check the disc it should be white and version 4.55. Also you aren't in northern canada are you? Northern Canada uses a different disc.

Is it me or is the directory information is just full of errors. I'm not even talkin' about being updated for new busineses information. Trying to find a Starbucks with the Nav DVD is terrible and trying to find a specific restaurant is annoying. The Nav would always pop up Starbucks 100's of miles away, I've seen this for a lot of well known stores. Most of the time, I would be better off just using the phone number to find the correct store.

I would upgrade my DVD but I need to know if all of the errors are corrected first. New mapping of streets out side of chicago does nothing for me. I just was the correct business information.

I've had the same problems while shopping this holiday season. Trying to find the nearest Best Buy gave me one 70 miles away while I was sitting in the parking lot of one. And it's not a new store - been there 5+ years. I wanted to know where the next closest one was, but it didn't even list the one I was sitting in front of. There is another one within 10-15 miles, but would only list ones 70+ miles away. I thought maybe it was because I'm in a smaller city, but the neighboring cities aren't much bigger. Very frustrating. I had the same experience with a few other stores. I've come to the conclusion that you have to just know the addresses. I remember checking right after I got the car, and I do have the most recent version of the DVD.

That is so freaky, I had the same problem looking for a best buy on Wednesday. I'm just a little disappointed how the directory can mislocate well known businesses; Starbucks, best buy, Ruth's Christ, Fogo De Chao, Buca Di Beppo and many others. Why would I pay to correct mistates and how do I know the mistakes are fixed? Restaurants, sometimes I use the phone number to get the locations. What is the deal with starbucks? How do you mess that up? Wish I can have it actively display the starbuck like the dealerships or gas stations.

I think you can have it display coffee houses on the map. I thought I remember seeing a big coffee cup on the map....
