I'm sorry, but I completely hate the GPS system (as many other do too). Fortunately I know my way around town, and have no plans to ever use the GPS/NAV unless really needed, but I wanted to update to the latest NavTeq DVD hoping for a new "User-Interface/OS" look and feel.

If I were to update to the latest disc, does this update the User Interface and OS feel of the navigation or is it just specifically the maps?

Thoughts or first-hand experiences greatly appreciated.

 

All the discs we've ordered..from aston or volvo..just update the maps not the interface

 

The later models went HD based, and they are a bit better, but AM have now moved up to use Garmin, which brings it right up to date.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone that can upgrade the Volvo-based systems to Garmin. So, I'm considering whether to replace the system that cost me £1700 [$2,600], with a much better system that sticks on like any aftermarket system, but costs about £100

 

^^Nope, the newest update just gives you newer maps and a bit better routing...still looks like it was the first nav unit ever made lol

 

thanks for the info. guess its not worth the few hundred dollars for the same crappy interface in a town i know better than the back of my hand.

 

i barely even use my navi at all. i used it once and got so confused that i had mapped out from Point A to B and didn't realize that I had somehow mapped out Point B back to A so my estimated arrival time was like double.
