I just wanted to know if there is a new version of the CD-ROM for the Navigation System. A few months ago they just finished a freeway and it doesn't come up on my Navi. Thanks!

Nope not yet.. I check a few weeks ago. I forgot the website, but they do not have one. The other day I was driving from Arcadia to Fontana to visit a friend and they didn't have the 210 on the nav.

What's the website?

I knew you were going to ask that. I don't have the info on which data disc or navi uses. I think I have it written down at home somewhere. I'll post that info if I find it.

The website or company maybe on the Disc itself.

That's cool! Whenever you get a chance. In the mean time I will look on the CD.

Hi group, They don't come out too often with an udate. I had a privious version in my Sedan last year and an updated version the my Coupe this year.
The website is www.Zenrin.com.

Only problem I have with my Navi is that one or two streets are wrong and it gave me the adress of a couple place that have been closed even before I got my car.I think the 04 Maxima and Murano come with an uptade version but not to sure.

 

The 04 Maxima and Murano come siwht v6.1, which is "last" years. They've since updated... you can get v6.2 which essentially DOUBLES the number of navigable roads. Instead of doing that, I just switched my G's DVDrom with my mom's FX's DVDrom [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img] Shhhhh....!

I just got a flyer in the mail from Zenrin. There is a new update out now. It's $185 plus shipping, order by Oct 31 to get free shipping, CA residents add 8.25% tax, www.zenrin.com, 800-777-0325 M-F 6a-5p PST. There are coverage maps on their website for v6.1 (current) and v6.2 (new) to compare.

Note, you don't have to keep buying new discs.. there is no subscription necessary for the Nav to continue to work. However, maps do go out of date eventually. I don't think it's necessary to update every year, just when they update an area that's useful for you.

Agreed! Every two years seems right!

Just make sure you check your DVD version before you update! Mine came with v6.2, so I'm not sure how "new" the new version is...

Does anyone know if our NAV reads recordable DVDs (i.e. backup copy)?

Have you made a backup? I tried to create a backup with DRU-500A DVD burner, but it won't let me. Perhaps it will only read R+/RW+ or R/RW? No idea man... let me know if you figure out how to copy it-- my software wouldn't even do a standard "copy DVD" maneuver.

I actually don't have a DVD burner. But I'm curious, can you at least see the files on your PC?

Perhaps the DVD is an entirely different, proprietary format, just like there is a computer DVD format, movie DVD, VCD, music CD, computer CD, etc.

It would be expensive to make a proprietary DVD format. It's probably a standard data DVD, so they can take advantage of mass-market DVD drives for the system. However, the data on the DVD could easily be in a proprietary format and look like a bunch of garbage files to your computer.
