You mean to tell me that after buying the car 2 months ago I need to buy a new DVD to tell me how to get from Point A to Point B?
I find the current disk to be pretty comprehensive, a few missing roads here and there, but I generally can find my way...anyway point is, does anyone think it is really worth it?

Perhaps we can get some Beta testers to volunteer to see if the update is worth it for the rest of us. We can provide towns & roads and the testers can enter them to see if the upgrade recognizes them?

When is this update supposed to be available and how can I order it? When I last check with my dealership, they knew nothing about it.

I am all for copies of the DVD, I just wonder if there is any copywrite protection on them. I am going to test it out on my current disk this week.

I'll pay shipping/handling/parts to anyone who can make a copy of 2.05 or later for me to test in my car
I am currently on s/w version 2.04, database version ADB0720.
Thanks!
P.S. I have a CD-RW, but I assume I would need a DVD-RW to make a backup nav disc?

I have an MDX and TL-S, both with Navi so I'm in to Acura for about $4K. It's absolute bull**** the way they handle keeping the databases updated. I'm trading in the MDX for a Volvo V70R with Navi. Volvo doesn't even try to get in the middle of the database maintenance. Right before delivery of a Navi equipped car, the Volvo dealer sends in an authorization for Navtech to ship out the latest DVD to either the dealer or directly to the customer. It's smart because you're guaranteed to get the newest DVD when you buy the car. You're also automatically notified whenever Navtech issues a new release (which is about twice a year) and you can purchase it directly from Navtech. While they build good cars, Acura can sure wear you out with the little things and their after sale support.
