2011 RL nav screen resolution

I have a 2006 RL, and have noticed that in most recent Acuras, like the ZDX, the navigation screen has a much higher resolution: no more jaggy diagonal lines or hard-to-read slanted street names.

I sat briefly in the one 2011 RL my local dealer has and although my time was limited, it seemed as though the nav system screen is the same one (resolution-wise, anyway) as the one in my 2006 version.

Does anyone know if Acura's updated the nav system screen in the RL since 2006?

Another reason to get the update it seems.

There are no written indications in releases from Acura that the Navi screen resolution has been updated in the 2011 RL. I would expect that an upgraded system would debut with the FMC.

Um...there's no way a new nav database could change the physical resolution of the screen...
