Updated navigation Disc

[heavymetals]

I use the Zenrin 6.7.

It does not support XM radio traffic, but my car doesn't have it anyway.

I don't know what the latest and greatest from Cadillac is, but typically they were a year behind the Zenrin release.

The tech support lady claimed she would know at the end of this month. I suspect a second firmware update is going to be needed to fix the Texas address issues.

I doubt that.

What is your issue?

Try to enter a street name that starts with C in the state of Texas. It thinks none exist. I've downloaded the zenrin 6.7 & 6.6 discs and they also have this problem.

I have come up on the 1 year anniversary of owning the V. The more I use my Nav the more I hate it. When I first bought the car I thought the nav was cool and it worked fine for those searches. Then I thought "some these guys on the forum just don't know how to use it." Well, from personal experience and many times using it over the year I have come to the conclusion that it truly sucks! (No shock to anyone here.) I have searched for some POI's directly and nothing shows up. Then I do brute force searching using other methods provided by the Nav and the POI that I was initially looking for finally shows up. And, it is spelled the same or in the town name that I was intially searching on. Many times I just use my Garmin and eliminate the frustration.

The nav system on the V leaves a lot to be desired, for sure.

I have an AVIC N4 in Mr. Vette and just the touch screen alone blows away the POS in the V.

But then, the V is obsolete and a big thank you to GM and the IDIOTS who decided that you can't swap the doggone nav/radio out without losing driving functions.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense (NOT).

SOME BUG!

Well, since Cad gets their map stuff from Zenrin, no big suprise that they both crap out.

What does Texas have against the letter "C"?

What is the most current NAV DVD out there, where to get it, how much? Thanks.

so if you unplug and swap out the HU i can imagine you would loose some of the menu based stuff, like mpg, oil life etc. but do you also loose the ability to turn on comp mode n the traction control?

YUP.

That is why if the radio is replaced and not configured for a V (via Tech II) you can't enter one of the driving modes.

Ain't that a kick in the pants?

Yo Heavy what's your part # on the disc and what vehicle did it come from? how much$$? and last where did you buy ?

[heavymetals]

The retail is about $200.00 for the Zenrin 6.7.

I was expecting 6.8 before the end of the year.

Think I should hold out and wait?

[heavymetals]

I would wait.
