Navi disc-differences between ver 2.30 vs. 2.60

Does anyone know if there are major differences between the Alpine Navi discs ver 2.30 and 2.60. I still have not put in the 2.30 which I bought years ago. I would buy the 2.60 today if it was $150. but I refuse to pay $185. That is ridiculous. Does anyone know if it will go back down to $150??

Thanks but I looked at that already and it doesn't show the differences between 2.30 and 2.60. It just shows differences from 2.50.

I am looking for someone that has upgraded from 2.30 to 2.60 (or close to it)and I wanted to know if it is worth doing. Or should I just use what I have.

Yes, it really is. $35 is a big deal when I just lost my side job and I don't even know if my area has been updated.

I may get in trouble for this, but here it go....

We should get someone to sell us a burn copy of our Navi Disc
I'm still using ver. 2.11 burn disc copy on TL right now

Sorry I cannot see playing $185 for a update Disc when I can go out there an get most Garmin Nuvi 4.3 widescreen for $110 an use it in any car I'm in.
They should lower the price so the can get more Sale (like under $100)

you are not allowed to copy the nav disc- illegal

Here is the easy test: Do you run in to areas where the nav says not found?
cant find places you normally go?
Get a new disc
November is the normal release time for the new edition

Since the acura site isnt giving up the old disc info, I recall there is a private website with a complete list--seach online
