The navi dvd get updated (such as it is) between Oct and Dec of any year.

The data base updates are dubious at best. I would wager 90% that what
ever you would like to see in the update, will not be there.

It's best to wait several years from the original revision before paying
$200 for the updated dvd.

I have heard recently that there is a "Buy" and "Try" grace period on the
updates, call the Toll Free number found in your owner's manual and ask.

I agree with that. I bought one update for our '03 Accord in '05 and
was disappointed by how out of date the information still was.

I would never bother with annual updating. Maybe once every second or
third year.

Re: What month do Honda / Acura navigation DVD's get updated?
 
The whole DVD thing is a rip-off. $200+ makes $3 a gallon look very
reasonable.

I just bought a newly-released Garmin c530 nav unit for $493 shipped.
It has version 8 maps (from the same vendor the automakers use) which
was just released 2 months ago and seems very up to date, even though
there's been a lot of construction in Dallas/Ft.Worth. The update
costs $75 to download every 12-18 months if you want.

Hmmm. If a download costs $75, there's no excuse for a mailed DVD to
cost more than $80.

Screw Honda Acura and their $200 DVD's. Screw not being able to access
the GPS except sitting in your car. Screw having to use a nav screen
to adjust the a/c's fan speed. The satellite radio is confusing
enough, without adding nav to the "bargain."
