Yeah, those greedy bastards! I think most of them are like that. I bought a 2003 Ody w/NAV too, and it is outdated. The new NAV disc is better, but yeah, it costs $185 plus $6 s/h. It has some bugs. It's weird. Sometimes I can't save any new addresses, but sometimes I can. Sometimes you can't get pass a certain screen, but then it works again after you turn it on and off. Those damn bugs. Yeah, I think an update disc should be no more than $50, not $185. I guess they figured if you have enough money to buy the Ody w/Nav, you have enough money to waste on future updates. Overall, I think the NAV works fine for me, except for those construction sites and new streets. But like they say, you can't rely 100% on the NAV. You have to use a little judgement calls too. But, if you make the wrong turn, the NAV knows. But yeah, it can be frustrating sometimes. Sometimes it picks a route that I think is stupid. However, it can get you eventually to your destination. I would say it's better than nothing and it works well most of the time. I still would get a NAV system on all my vehicles in the future.

is to be like my friend and don't update every year. Every other year might be fine, but he has never updated his 2001 disc in his 2001 Odyssey EX.

I don't have a NAV system, but sorely miss it when I had the chance to buy a 2001 with a NAV but waited until 2002 to buy an Odyssey and bought the base EX model. (cloth, no NAV)

Most streets don't change completely even when they do change, so most NAV will work even after 10 years. However, the POI will most likely be way off. For example, in the 2003 Ody NAV, the Wal-Marts around my area did not even show up as POI. Now all the stores around my house show up on POI. So the streets may not change, but the POI will. If you don't care for POI and just care about getting close to a destination, you could always use nearby intersections and the NAV should get you there. Yeah, I did not HAVE to guy the updated disc, but it was just fun to. Even I will have to admit that NAV is a "toy". But even so, I feel 100% confident that I will never get lost with it--even with an outdated 2003 NAV disc.
#420 of 963 well by jchan2 Dec 24, 2003 (1:58 pm)
he just uses the NAV to get where he needs to go- I doubt he'll ever use the POI feature.
#421 of 963 Any word on the Navi SW update? by kph Feb 05, 2004 (7:40 pm)
<Bump>   Reading this group, it appears that last fall a buggy 2003 update to the non-voice Navi software was issued, with a promise of a fix by about now.   As the owner of a 2000 Odyssey with the original DVD in it, I was planning to upgrade it this year, but was hoping to hear about this update before moving.   Any word out there??   TIA
#422 of 963 Any word on the Navi SW update? by kph by andrewtran71 Feb 06, 2004 (5:32 am)
No words yet, but I'm planning on calling them back again soon. The lady I spoke with said it would be ready by late Jan. or early Feb.

#424 of 963 Words on Patch-up disc by andrewtran71 Feb 23, 2004 (8:36 am)
Installed the patch disc. Drove my Ody over the weekend. NAV seems to be working just fine.
#425 of 963 Question by paulmlac Feb 29, 2004 (2:41 pm)
I'm looking at a new Ody with Nav. From reading the messages above, it looks like an updated disc just came out. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether the car would come with the newest disc? For instance, does the dealer install the most recently available disc during delivery? Or would I have to push to get this included? It seems like I should get the latest disc given that my car purchase date would be after the disc release date...   Thanks!
