Also, your comparision to stealing the guys headlights down the street is not applicable to this scenario. Pirating computer software or hollywood DVD's would be a better compairsion.

Yes i think they are charging too much for the disc, yes i can disagree with you all i want about actual R&D costs and we can also argue about this until we are blue in the face becuase it's all in good discussion however dont go assuming what peoples actions will be. That's ultimately up for them to decide, not you to assume.

However, if you read the posts on page 2 of this thread, there were quite a few posts that started to cross the line on illegal bartering and copying... These are the messages that I am surprised did not result in the thread lock...

Canadian coverage
For those of you that have 2.20, what is the code to enable the canadian map edition. I know the new TL have this option.
Does the 2.20 for the older TL's have the same option?

6. Can my navigation system provide coverage for Mexico or Canada?
Coverage for Mexico and Canada is not provided by the system.

Hey I just got my copy of 2.20 from Acura just ahead of them running out.
If anyone wants me to check anything out about it or answer any questions shoot.
Note about the posting above and the FAQ saying Canada is not possible with our systems...the FAQ has many errors in it. For example that it's not possible for the 99 TL disk based system to upgrade to DVD. It could be there, perhaps we can figure it out with this disc.
I probably won't keep this disc so if anyone was hot for this version and are waiting on www.acuranavi.com I'd sell it at my cost. I just picked up my Honda Ridgeline Navi yesterday...wow the features that navi has. It has a freakin on screen calculator.

I just got my Navi 2.20 disk, I noticed when I checked the version number on the Acura Navi system it said version 2.11.25. Anyone know why it doesn’t say version 2.20? The disk has 2.20 written on it. I’m updating from 2.05.

I also received my disk yesterday. I upgraded from 2.03 and the Navi said 2.11.25, but the disk said 2.20.
If you look at http://www.angelfire.com/ga4/99_acura_tl_navi/ ... you'll noticed 2.11 is 2.11.25 -- so, maybe this is an insignificant update from 2.11 to 2.20.
For me, however, this adds about 4 million routes!

I just got off the phoen with Alpine and the lady told me that all the NAV versions are like that, the version on the disc doesnt correspond with what is on the screen. Whether this is true or not I'm not sure, I'll have to run in the car and go check this out.

I just checked the website and they state that there is a verion 3.40 available for my 04 TL. I called the number and verified that this is the right version being offered. The person on the phone stated this is the version for the voice activated systems? Anyone else see this or have the 3.40 version? I'm wondering if there are major differences or not. I read all about 2.20 and went out to check and it nows says 3.40. WTF Alpine?

If you're going to slam acuranavi, you should get your facts straight first.
2.20 is the latest version for non-voice activated NAVIs.
3.40 is the latest version for voice activated NAVIs.

Sorry for bringing back an old thread. Does anybody know the difference between the older version (2.05 or less) and 2.20?
Here is the list I collected through search:
- The zoom bar is orange instead of yellow
- Deeper, more mature voice
- Update(Add) verified roads, and add unverified roads (light gray color)
- Moving the cursor around is smoother.
- Update (Add) POIs
Anything else I miss?????
In 2.20, is there more options in "Show icon on map" beside gas station, ATM & a specific type of restaurant?

Howdy : )
I would like a backup copy of 3.40 (black disk) for my Navi if someone can make them... I have paypal baby! 
I would also like to know what media is good for dvd reader in the trunk? My last copy would usually read, but sometimes I would get the unformatted error
annoying when I have to restart my car because of it
Thanks In Advance,
