Navi overseas capable?
Does anyone know if the navi can be updated with info from another country if I were to move overseas with the car?
I have a portable Garmin, but would much prefer to buy a car with the integrated GPS if maps are available for other countries.

I'll be driving it here for at least a year & a half first, but since I expect to own it for at least 4 or 5, the majority of my time owning it will be in another country. (The job is paying to ship the car.)
As to where, I know this isn't very helpful, but it's only been narrowed down to far east or central Europe. Oh, or possibly GB.

Most of the navi data as far as maps are stored on the DVD. I would imagine that you should be able to obtain a DVD in Europe that would work in the car.

Lease the car now and buy a new one when you go to another country.
Yeah, but I imagine the bootup logo would be Honda, instead of Acura.
Thanks guys!

I considered that, but they limit your down payment on the lease, so that the monthly payment is pretty high. At least that's what the online calculator indicated. Am I wrong? I was hoping for a close to even trade if I sell my truck privately.
As long as it works, it can say "Bite Me" when it loads for all I reallyl care!
