I have been trying regular in my 2008 Denali and it rides terrible with it, very sluggish and less responsive. I have been forced to use premium to have it ride how Iike it.
 
My 2005 Denali ran great on regular...

Yukon Denali GPS System by harleyrdrbrett

Hello everyone
   First off, thanks to all of you who take the time to help other Yukon owners learn more about there rides. I am just about to take delivery of a 2006 Yukon Denali. My question is, how does the NAV system work. Will I have to buy NAV DVDs for everywhere I drive to? and will I always need to buy more current DVDs like when we used to have to always buy the latest Road Atlas? I'm assuming my Denali has an internal GPS system that is used with the DVD NAV system and the Onstar. I bet I sound like I shouldn't be getting such a vehicle if I am so "challenged". LOL Thanks

I had a 2004 and currently drive a 2007 Denali. Both use map discs (DVD) which are supplied by GM, and you get 2 free disc upgrades included in your new vehicle price. Just log onto www.gmnavdisc.com.
 
The GPS antenna for your Nav system is not in the OnStar/XM antenna on the roof, it sits under the dash approximently in the middle and connects to the back of the Nav Radio. Look on Ebay if you want to see the complete kits. It receives through the glass thats why you shouldn't tint the front windshield or if you replace it make sure its not made with a coating that will restrict the GPS signals.
 
Map discs cover North America, I haven't seen any other areas offered but check the above website for more info.
 
The new discs sometimes just add new streets, without any new functionality so it depends how picky you wish to get. Ebay is often the best place to get discs if you want to upgrade every new version.

Thanks brewboy, today I feel a little more smarter than I did yesterday. One more question. Do you feel like the GMC disks are detailed enough, or would you prefer to go with a navigation company product such as Garmin?

I used the Garmin 650 while visiting Scottsdale a few months ago and loved how easy it was to use. I dont know if it had any more detailed information then the factory GM Nav DVD. The Garmin had the ability to be used in your hand while your walking around and that was benefit for sure. I know some of the Garmins have MSN Traffic updating via wireless connectivity to the internet which you wont have in your truck. The 2007 and newer GM Nav radios all have the ability to display XM Radio Traffic Information. I was thinking about having both since they are so cheap now. I saw the Garmin 650 for $299 at Costco on line so I will probably go get that so I can use it outside the Denali and when I rent a car.

2005 Denali GPS Question by boilermanup

I have a 2005 Denali with the factory GPS that has stopped working.
At first if I ran the disk out and back in it would start working, I did this for about 4 months.
That no longer works now all I get is a popup that says the disc is either scratched or dirty, I purchased a new disc and still the same problem so I know that the disc is not the problem.
 
Any body else have this problem and if so what was the fix?

What about trying the disc in another trucks Nav radio and see what happens?
 
If you need to take it out its not very hard to do. Be careful how much they want to repair it if you go that far, you can buy new ones on Ebay for under $1000.
 
Check out the Chevy Avalanche Fan Club on the web, they have instructions for almost everything and the members are an invaluable source of information because the Avalanche has almost all the same components.

I tried the disc in another vehicle, the disc is not the problem.
 
I probably will have to take the vehicle in to the dealer and see what they have to say.
Only happens just as the warranty expires.
 
Thanks for the info.

Check your coolant level in both the radiator and recovery tank.
