I've got an email for the same offer. Very tempting.

I'd buy it but not right now though lol.

Added updates:
  • More than 1 million miles of roads
  • More than 250,000 point of interest, such as hotels and ATMs
  • More than 7.5 million other data points, including street names and addresses

Yeah... when I saw the youtube, I literally ran to my car and tried it. I was cracking up inside my car for a good 5 minutes. My neighbors probably thought that I was nuts.

The instructions says they need your VIN to make the purchase.
I am assuming they make the DVD vehicle specific?

What a silly question...clearly, he was looking for the nearest blowjob.

Let's see a Lexus do that for you.

Until Google Maps (or better) is integrated into my Nav I will never use it. Do what you do best Acura, make great cars and leave navigation to the professionals.

After a hellish day at the office and at home, I had to try it and the nav listed out the closest hotels!

I also for kicks said "I want some p***y" and the nav voice responded by saying "Pardon?" Ha!!

If your city's road infrastructure has had a major overhaul during the last few years or you want the latest and greatest Zagat rated restaurants on the fly then it's probably worth it if you rely on GPS to get around. I only use the navigation function when I'm out of town. In town I use it to avoid congestion, which isn't worth the $100+ upgrade for me.

Does anyone have the GPS database version number history?


I am upgrading from:


IT002.01.04


to the Green Disk which is:


IT005.04.01


Anyone know how old IT002.01.04 is?


Also on the upgrade order the product # is U3134-1113-310
and the description is: 2014 Green DVD Map Update v8.310.0


I can't find 8.310.0 anywhere else in the car.


Also anyone know anything about the software?


My software version is 1.40.0300


On a 2011 MDX. The NavTeq people who I ordered the update from said there is no software updates included with this map update... that I would have to contact my dealer for such a thing. The dealer doesn't know anything about the software version on the GPS...


Thanks, Dan
