Next Navi update
What the hell happened to the updated DVD that was supposed to include every road in the U.S. fully mapped??
The newer DVD seems to hardly be worth the money, at least in the metro New York area.
Anyone know when NavTech is gonna start mapping EVERYWHERE??

Coming to a city near you
I think NavTech is mapped everywhere, just Acura doesn't bother to include the info for some stupid reason.(maybe cost??)
Mapquest.com is partnered with Navtech and there coverage is awesome with that. Here is what NavTech says about themselves

I think acura needs to start becoming partners with retail stores like walmart, mcdonalds, etc... and at least have all of them in the database. It sucks when you type in Walmart and the closest one is 364 miles away, knowing that one is right down the street.
