I am purchasing a 2012 SRX and the web indicates that there is a 2013 map update. I asked the dealer and he said that the maps are now continuously updated thru Onstar. Sounds possible, but why would the web say there is an update. Does anyone have a straight answer?

Maps OnStar uses for Turn-By-Turn (audible) directions may be automatically updated, but your Nav's maps are downloaded via a DVD directly to your HDD. These map DVDs are outdated before they're even sold, as new roads are constructed nationwide on a daily basis. If you want to update your maps on an annual basis, GM will gladly sell you a new disc for $200. Until we get Google Maps in cars, none of these types of Nav systems will be 100% up to date. My suggestion to you is this. Don't even worry about having the most up to date maps until your present database becomes inaccurate ON A REGULAR BASIS. Mine is three years old and I only remember a road missing from the Nav once. Of course, this all depends on how often you use your Nav and the area you're in.

Maybe they were referring to the 2013 SRX. Personally, I wouldn't trust what the dealer tells me. My salesman was clueless. He told me the same exact thing three years ago. He had no clue, and instead of admitting this, he just made stuff up off the top of his head.

Thanks for the reply. I think your recommendation makes a lot of sense but I am going to push them a little to update the maps before I purchase the car

That's an excellent idea! It cost them nothing, since they should already have the latest disc on hand. I don't blame you for wanting to "start out" with the latest map database. Mine might be outdated now, but at the time of purchase it was the newest version.

Kennyj, thank you for considering a SRX! I hope you'll keep us posted after you consult with your dealer again, and don't hesitate to email me anytime at [email protected]rt.com if you would like me to investigate any concern further for you. If you send me the last eight of its VIN, I would also be happy to provide you with a copy of its build sheet!

Best,

Can you tell from the build date or build sheet what navigation maps are included ?

 

[Cadillac Customer Service]

I just double checked my resources to be sure, Kenny, and I found that the special Nav Disc team would be of better assistance on that topic. They should have the most up-to-date information for you. The GM Navigation Support hotline is 1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472) OR 1-877-NAV-DISK (1-877-628-3475), and their typical hours are Mon.-Fri. 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.

Hope this helps,

Katie

[Kennyj]

Update. I just talked to my dealer and they will update the navigation maps. Great service

 

[inspectorudy]

Katie, nice to have you on board BTW, wouldn't it be nice of GM to offer the updates as a feature of the Cadillac level of service for free? I mean ONE disc per dealership would suffice to update ALL of its customer's cars at the cost of only that disc. Things like this make the difference between a cheap company that lives for today and one that truly cares about repeat customers. If I were running the Cadillac division I would look at things to help my customers and that would give GM the most bang for the buck. This should easily be one of them!

 

[Cadillac Customer Service]

Thanks for the suggestion, inspectorudy! I'll be sure to document your idea, and I can definitely understand your perspective on it. (I'm also glad your dealer is working with you on updating your Navigation maps!)

Best,

Hi We took delivery of our 2012 SRX AWD on Thanks giving Weekend. We started noticing that many major roads in our area, (Phila. PA) were missing or not labeled. That prompted me to check the Nav. Version that was loaded in the system. It Said it was 20.11.03 Does that mean it is a 2011 software Version? Any thoughts?

Thanks

Wekz1, have you already checked with our GM Navigation Support team (contact information above)? You can also check to see what latest upgrade is available on their site. And I'm happy to investigate if you still have any lingering concerns after checking those resources! Email me anytime at [email protected] for further assistance.

Thank you, mfdoc! Below you will find the build sheet, and I've removed your VIN from this post since many consider if private information. Please feel free to "edit" your comment to remove the VIN as well, if you wish.

I'm new to the Cadillac family, but a long time GM customer. I just picked up a 2013 SRX this past Friday. What a joy to drive!

About the nav system...I too am seeing some roads missing or lacking names. These aren't new roads by any stretch of the imagination. Thanks to others in this thread, I'm going to ask my dealer to see if there is an update available.

Also, Katie - can I also get my build sheet? The last 8 of the VIN are: xxxxxxx

-tnx!

I have yet to see an installed nav system in a vehicle that I like as much as a portable. This updating is a major reason for the portable.

Anyway I have to have the portable when I fly. I take my Garmin Nuvi with me everywhere I go. I also have lifetime updates on it.

Too bad the automobile manufacturers cannot at least get as good a system for even twice the money.

I agree. If lifetime traffic and updates come on a 200 portable device, you would think that car manufactures could also provide free updates when you take the car in for service

 

[algiorda]

I actually have a different opinion regarding the SRX Navigation system vs. the Portable devices. I find the SRX Nav system to be incredible for my area. The 2013 Cue Navigation is even more incredible with the natural language recognition. I tested this during my test drive, and it worked flawlessly.

One of the reasons the portable unit maps are more accurate is because of user supported map reports. If you have an issue with inadequacies in your maps, you can call a toll free number to report the issue. This will create more accurate maps over time. I haven't seen the same service for the GM Nav system maps.

Thanks Katie. Perhaps I did not explain my concerns properly. We have a 2012 SRX with Nav Sotware version #20.11.03. Does the Version number indicate that 2011 Map Software is loaded into my Nav System. If it does, I will need to talk to my dealer again. I should not have to pay for updated software that should have been included at time of vehicle purchase. So far, my dealer has not been able to answer my question. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
