Replying to: nebraskaguy (Jan 29, 2009 6:45 am) I don't think any nav system will get all of the info into it to make it work 100 %. However, in my 08 RL we had good nav to Yellowstone from Bay Area Ca. and down to Mojave recently.   When we were visiting our son and family in Ill. we rented a car and Magalen, sp, was the nav. It seems outdated and compared to our RL and our 06 Pilot's nav, it required getting used to.   I don't have the update and I was considering buying it, and I appreciate the other posters comments. Thank you   jensad

Replying to: nebraskaguy (Jan 29, 2009 6:45 am) Well, I just went to the NAVTEQ web site and I do have the newest version DVD installed. I then went to the NAVTEQ Map Reporter and those missing Roads and Bridges are actually there. To compare, I purchased my wife one of those "portable" GPS systems and the roads are pretty current (updated to about 6 months ago). Unfortunately it's not as user friendly as the built-in system such as the one in the Acura. What I really dislike are the none reported closed freeway entrances. Why should I renew the satellite traffic subscription if it's not more accurate.

So does that mean that they have the updates on the NAVTEQ map reporter that will be incorporated into the next version of the DVD when it is released?

I am looking at purchasing an 06 RL. If I get the updated CD, does it bring it up to the same features as the new RL's?   For example, will it announce the name of the street that you have to turn on to. Replies to this message: nebraskaguy (Feb 23, 2009 6:56 am)

If I get the updated CD, does it bring it up to the same features as the new RL's?   Yes, it will use the same updated info as the new RL's. I can't say it will have all the same features, but it will have the same database of information.    For example, will it announce the name of the street that you have to turn on to.       It will not announce the name of the street you have to turn on, unless it's a major highway. It will show on the screen the name of the street you have to turn on.

I have a 2005 Acura RL which I am planning to ship to Europe for a few months I am told that the navigation system will not work even if you put the European maps dics in it. That's weird because I know Europe uses the same GPS system and ACura RL exists in Europe under Honda Legend badge and it is an identical car . Does anybody know if there is a way to tweak the system so that it would work for Europe. ?   My email piotrek884aol.com or piotrek884gmail.com
