Does anyone know when this is going to be released? I really want the update disc but know as soon as I dump the $185 into 2.11C, that they are going to release 2.20.

What version did they upgrade to dual-layer?

Any ideas?

 

PM me if you want the 2.11c for lA LOT less than 185

 

ya Im in the same boat, I may just end up getting the 2.11c version if they dont hurry up! But the 2.20 version should be lots better...like 3 million more POI and Im sure lots more roads.

 

Visit AcuraNAVI for the latest information.

 

yes we know about that, but I would like to know when it really will be out...they have been pushing it back

 

Just curious, who on this forum would have this information and unless they had an inside source, you couldn't trust them anyway. Heck, even then they could just be blowing smoke. I'm betting 2.20 will not be out today, and they'll just change the web site to say it'll be available in February.

 

Does 2.11c have the new roads and POIs? I was ready they dual-layered but im not sure if thats happening with 2.20 or happened with .11C

 

Here is the latest word from the Acura Navi website:

"The current version is 2.11C, and is available for purchase. The 04 Fall Update DVD (version 2.20) has been delayed, but will be available sometime in January."

Is that January, 2005, 2006, 2007...? Based upon Acura's track record, I won't be holding my breath while I wait for its release. I bought the 2.11C version and I would like to get some miles on that one before I replace it.

 

Dang this is something i'll be needing...i still have the original 1999TL Nav unit

 

the hard drive units quit updating a few years ago. This is for the DVD systems; and you never know, someone may have some inside info - that does happen on this site

 

I'm holding out for 2.20 as well. I'm on the 2001 disc in my 02 TL. If i had a dual-layer burner i would hook ppl up with discounted copies, but i dont

Let's just that they get 2.20 out soon before fall of this year!

 

ya damn, isnt there supposed to be an update every fall for the DVD?

 

If I do get the updated cd then do I just have to swap the cds or do I need to bring it to the dealers to format it or something?

 

just replace the old one

 

DocHolliday told me once he has a connection for copies of 2.11c, which is dual layered I believe. You guys might try PMing DocHolliday.

 

Well i have 2.11 an they still don't have alot new or update road that have been up for past 3 year here in ATL and surraround area. Funny thing is My brother has Honda Accord 03 w/ Navi an he has alot road that i don't HAVE
I thought Apline made both HONDA & ACURA DVD version? Then WHY so different

 

damn that sucks, maybe I wont get the 2.11c then...is there a 2.11a or b? I really want to get one that has most every road, then update again in a few years. If the 2.11c is lacking alot, I may just wait. And what is the advantage of the dual layer disk? other than more info?

 

Find out what software and database version your brother has.

 

List some road names, with city and state and I can tell you if they're on the 2.11c DVD.

That's the only, and most important advantage, more info. More roads, more POIs, etc. It's beyond me why people keep mentioning that the latest DVDs are dual layer. AFAIK, it's only important to people who want to make copies of the DVD. To everyone else, who just pops the DVD into the unit, the fact that it's dual layer is irrelevant.

 

The dual layer is important because that is when they added double the amount of mapping info, POIs, and software upgrades. Nowhere, at least intentionally, was the mention of making copies mentioned; It was simply because I did not want to invest in the upgrade if it did not include the newest features and mappings. Living in Central Jersey, most of my area is a big grey hole, at least according to navteq =)

 

I called the phone number... they're now saying sometime in late FEBRUARY.

 

Who wants to volunteer to help ppl out with 2.11c? I can't believe that crap, it's not called a spring update, it's supposed to be a fall update. Is this company related to microsoft in any way? Wow, push it back some more boys!

 

YA no shit, this is gay. someone really dropped the ball on this one. Looks like Im going to get the fall '03 update then...

 

Who's got the 2.11c version???

 

Well look somebody. i need the 2.11 version so if somone can get the update for me less than 200 bucks then holla at me Pm me please

 

i was checking that site out. $185 for a new dvd?!? talk about a rip off. that navigation better engage cruise control when i tell it to for that price.

 

that really is a good price for a new one...there is alot of technology and work that goes into the updates...but fuck them if they think Im going to shell out $200 for a CD that hasnt been updated in over a year

 

has anyone tried a burned copy? I heard the burned ones may not work as well...but if they do, Ill get one.

 

yeah i have a burned copy...it works perfectly....actually, someone on zine did it for me.....i totally forgot who though....burned copies work well if it's done right.

 

I'm running a burned copy - no issues at all

 

Hook us up with a copy man!

 

Does anyone know if 2.20 will provide Canadian maps?? I goto Toronto all the time.. It would be nice if they included this, finally.

 

ill paypal $10 if sum1 can burn me 2.11c.

pm me

 

LOL now that's a discount

 

It's a Double Density DVD. The blank DVD alone is $15.00

 

A single layer DVD contains about 4.7gigs of data while a dual layer DVD contains 8.5gigs. That's the difference. The 2.11 is dual layer, but I don't know how much of the 8.5gigs they are using up because I don't have the 2.11. If they used up all the space, then my guess for a 2.20 DVD is that they will be going by demand of which cities/states need/use the software the most. Taking away from some cities/states and giving to others. If anyone has or can make an .iso image of the 2.11 disk, PM me and I could figure out how much space is being used by it to determine if the 2.20 may even be worth getting.

 

I doubt they are using up the entire DVD9 (DL) disc for 2.11. The version prior to that was just a single layer disc. I doubt they increased enough content to require double the amount of storage.

 

2.11C is 6.9GB. (V2.03 was only about 3.1GB)

 

according to the site, the 2.20 version will have lots more info on it. I have a burned copy of the 2.11c now and if you look at the back, the info doesnt go out to the end...so there is much more space on the disk

 

So who here can burn us a copy? Anythings better than buying from the stealership!
