I don't know, I also have a 2004 Honda pilot with navi and that navi blows compared to my CL'S navi. Its slower maybe from more info, and it'sslightly different. I'm still on the original version from 2001 for the CL, and if something isn't there, I can still use the map to find it. wonder if this new one is any better.

The dealer owes me the lastest copy as part of our deal when I bought my car back in Oct. Somehow I doubt they'll make good on it now

I upgraded to the 2.11C and it's fantastic. I use it every day for work and I'm all over Maryland. Out of all of the trips that I used my NAVI on last year, The system couldn't find two houses.
That was because of new construction.

Not only did it find 99.9% of what I asked it to, but it also has very accurate data on ATM's, food places, blablabla. Good stuff.

The 211c ver. is very accurate. If I were one of you looking to upgrade, now is the time to find a used 211c disc. IMO there is no need to upgrage to the latest ver, the data on the 211c is pretty dang up to date.

Cool New version...

2.20 arrived at my place yesterday afternoon-- Installation was simple, and the upgrade was done in less than 5 minutes.

As far as I can tell, there are no major changes to the system from 2.11c. From the information menue, the system software version is still 2.11.xxxxxx, but the database is dated 9/2004.

I wish they'd bring back the asian lady voice from 2.05 (versus the current chain smoking woman).

There are MANY more businesses/points of interest in my area (SoCal)

However, I'm disappointed that they haven't done a better job of combining categories. For instance, in some places radio shack is under the electronics retail category and in other places radio shack is in some other category (and 45 other categories)... It makes finding the closest radio shack almost impossible.

Speed wise, it seems a bit faster than 2.11c but not as fast as 2.05 was.

All and all, 2.20 is just an incremental database upgrade and if you aren't in an area with new roads or don't want the updated points of interest-- its probably not worth the 200$ if you already have 2.11c.

this is my #1 complaint with the navi dvd. i'd like a button to flatten out all of the silly subcategories that don't matter.

my #2 complaint is the outdated database. i have 2.11c and the database is about 2 years old. this seems to be addressed with the 2.20 release if the database really is from 9/04.

2.20 information screen



As you can see, the system software has only had a minor revision since 2.11c, and the database is dated 09/07/04---
