yes, selling updates is common practice. I have a 2007 MB ML320 diesel (just bought a 2010 Murano LE too) and MB sells updates.

thats what I am saying.....We pay so much for the navigation where a normal portable NAV is just $100-200...and some allow free updates also...meanwhile if they update maps every year....are we supposed to pay $150 every year ??? Better I will stay away from updates....if they charge...$50 or so...I guess more people will buy and they will actually get a profit...

Yeah, I don't disagree. I didn;t buy the updates for the MB because they wanted in typical MB fashion over $250. They may get the message if no one buys the updates or fewer people buy nav. But I doubt it since they have a 'captive" audience. Easy to unsuction cup the Garmin and take it out..little tougher with the factory nav.

#84 of 86 Disabling the safety feature for Navigation System by lovepub

As all murano drivers, u should have noticed that the Navigation system wont work while in motion. I know it's the safety feature....but who the heck would park aside on the highway and re-enter a new destination when required.
 
Anyone know any way around this? I know if ur speed is down to maybe 5km/h, u can access the editting. But u can't do that when u are driving at 100kmh. Might as well buy a TomTom.
 
I'll take my chances of crashing my car while entering destination when in motion. Not saying that most of the time, there would be a passenger doing that for u when u are driving.
 
Anyone AnyIdeas?? Or just live with it?

lovepub, I'm not sure where you are located, but here in the USA, the Murano Navigation systems sure DO work while in motion. Some functions are disabled (for safety, or legal protection I suspect) but you can enter new addresses by voice command (that works surprisingly well), or scroll through Previous Destinations on the screen. The Points of Interest screen only will show the first 4 or 5 categories while driving (no scrolling allowed) but you can customize the list to put your favorite categories first (like Fast Food! or ATMs, etc) and navigate to those places also. And you can navigate to any point on the map by centering the map on the location you want to go to, then hitting the "Map Menu" icon on the touch screen, and taking the option to set that point as a new Destination. Check out your Navigation Manual.
 
And if you search the murano.org or the NICO club Murano forums, you will find descriptions from clever folks who have figured out how to wire in a switch to disable those safety features and give full function back while you are driving. For your passenger to operate, of course...
 
Good luck! --jayhawk

How do you search for a specific store/restaurant using the nav system (e.g. Dunkin Donuts, Target,etc.)?
