Navigation Update
I've searched google and the manual, can't find an answer. How do you get a new update for the Hard Drive based Navigation found on the 2007. I assume that they come out with updates on a yearly basis. Is it something that's updated automatically? Do I need to download an update to a compact flash or a CD? Where do I go to buy it from on the 'net??? Or do I need to go to the dealer? Thanks for the help in advance.

The Zenrin site says "New map update of DVD 7.3 and DVD 6.6 will be released on October 1, 2007."

These updates seem pretty pricey. I wonder if it makes more sense to update every 2-3 years rather than annually.

And there are a few places in BK -- it tried to send me up what is now a pedestrian walkway the other day -- where the map data shows roads that are just not there anymore period.
But I wouldn't update for small things like that, though. Now if it's highway info in TX or one of those places where there's new construction going up right now, that's another story.

"The update for your vehicle is still pending. The exact method for updating the HDD system in your vehicle has not been determined. Please check back with us in November, hopefully we will have more information by then."
I didn't get an answer to the actual question I asked in the email:
"I wonder if Zenrin provides a data sheet for the update detailing changes to the last version such as fixes, updates to maps, and a list of cities or localities where greater map detail has been added?"
I'd like to know exactly what the update includes before buying it.
