4th Generation Navi map coverage
Does the standard US map for the 4th Gen TL cover all of Canada? The White Disk for my 3rd Gen 2007 TL-S only covers a strip of Canada along the border. When I drive up to Canada on vacation I have to bring along my wife's Garmin since we fall off the Acura maps, which really pi$$es me off.
Actually, NAVTEQ price gouging in general pi$$es me off. My wife's Garmin cost less than two years of Acura updates, but includes a lifetime subscription with 4 updates a year. But at least I'm not a Canadian. NAVTEQ screws our friend to the North by charging them $179 an update, and don't ever seem to offer them a sale.
I sent a letter to Acura telling them they should rethink their relationship with NAVTEQ, since NAVTEQ is screwing their customers which hurts Acura's reputation.

If you go to the coverage maps, it lists which cities are there, and which aren't.
Previous versions of the two discs (Canadian and American) were the same, even though Navteq's story was that the American disc only covered the first 100 miles north of the border. Now it seems that the Canadian disc(s) do in fact cover all of Canada and the US, while the US version omits some of Canada (though not, apparently at the 100 mile mark).
