Basic nav disc update question

for those of you that have the latest nav disc, how does it compare to the original? i have an 07 with original disc and its getting very frustrating to navigate with this damn thing. i know its not the navs fault, rather the disc.

what improvements can be seen from the latest disc aside from road updates? is it worth the $115 or whatever?

I think it depends entirely on where you are located and what areas they've updated in the past year. Usually, the website includes a list of updates; might make sense to scan that to see if there's anything compelling for you. In my case, last year's updates didn't do much for my little corner of the world, but I'd set myself on a 2-year update rotation, so I went ahead anyway.

Waltah, if you have an original '07 disc, it will be well worth it to upgrade. You'll see updated POI's and highways in your area.
