Navigation Update Available to MY '08

Has anybody got this update, and if so, is it worth the cost in your opinion? I have an '08 C4S and the software I have doesn't even recognize parts of our national hwy. system (Trans Canada) on the east coast of Canada, and also some of our main hwy. sections in Canada's largest city, Toronto. An improvement on the mapping would be appreciated!

The following is from the Downtown Fine Cars Porsche dealer website in Toronto.

Update of navigation data to MY'08 data version
All Sports Car & Cayenne

$389 + $87.50 Labour (Canadian dollars!!)

A new update to the model year '08 data version is available for the navigation data in Porsche Communication Management 2.0 (PCM2.0).
There are more points of interest (POI) available for selection. As a result, considerably more tourist information (hotels, restaurants, car parks, service stations, etc.) is provided.

Parts Info: 000.044.901.21

Ck and see what version you have before you upgrade to a version which may be the same!
Use the search, these upgrades have been discussed at length.

Thanks, larrytrk. It looks like this may be a version with '07 maps that came out last year, according to a search of the part number I did, but I will call the dealer to check. The DVD that came with my car is PCM 2.1 - Navigation America.

To close this thread off, I spoke with the dealer, and unfortunately this update is available to update '04-'07 models to the '08 DVD which has '07 mapping.
