Nav disks

I recently purchased an '05 Coupe with Nav. The previous owner never updated the disks, so I am running Map Version 6.3 which was released in 2004. What Map Version can I go up to? And where is the best place to purchased the disks from? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

From navigation.com's site, version 6.10 is the latest you can use.

However, it costs $150 - more than a new garmin with better navigation, much better interface and free lifetime maps and traffic.

Thanks for the information. If I did order these new disks do I need to get a new program CD or could I use the one that I already have?

The CD is simply a new map database, which works with the old software. I do not know if they have the software update is included or not, but the update doesn't really change anything, or make it look like nav software the newer (06+) cars use.

The new updated maps comes with the software cd. In a nutshell, you use the software cd to update the firmware, then insert the updated map DVD for regular use.

2013 maps have been released and are on sale for $99 through June 30th

v6.11 for 2003-2005
v7.8 for 2006-2007 (coupes)
