Plugged in an address on the NAV and found out the NAV has no clue how to get around a major city in CA. Just checking to see if its normal that when I checked the NAV disc it says Verison 1.0. On a 07 Escalade I would expect a version above this and the case is dated 2005. Is there anyway to find out if I have the latest NAV disc for CA?
I just got my first (free) update from GMNavdisk.com about two weeks ago. It doesn't have a version number on the disk but it shows 2007 copyright dates (original disk my 2007 came with in Oct of '06 showed version 1 & 2005 copyright).
Part # on the old one was GM# 15878293 - new one is GM# 25853487U.
In addition to having updated map info - when you first load the new disk it does a software update to your nav unit. Takes about 5 - 10 minutes to do its thing. Nav works fine & the new disk has lots of new / updated streets & locations.
Go to: www.GMNAVDISC.com or go to this website and call them. I just got my free update and it works great. A lot more info now than it had on the old 1.0 version. The thing is, the new disc I got doesn't have a version number. It is just referred to as the 2008 Escalade disc.
Thanks for the info. I will go ahead and order the update. Unfortunate that I have to use 1 of my free updates so soon. I would have figured I would receive the latest version when we bought the Escalade.
I'll be surprised if gmnavdisk will give you an update if your car isn't coming up on it's first anniversary of purchase. From what I was told, you get your initial disk at time of delivery & then an update only on its 1st & 2nd "birthday".
I don't know when you took delivery, but if it was just recently, I'd go back to the dealer & show them that you got an out of date version.
Those disks are kind of like gold, but they can "minipulate" them in the name of customer relations.
Also - that way you don't end up needlessly using one of your updates.
Just purchased the escalade not even 2 weeks ago. I am going to try and have the dealership give me the newer version so I don't have to use a free update right away, seems odd to me why they didn't give me the latest but I guess most people really don't care??? Who knows...
