I have an 07 GX 470 and was wandering if any one had the newest updated disc out there and if so was it worth buying? Is there any major differences or am I just as well to stay with my factory disc from 2007? I don't mind paying the money if it's actually worth it but don't want to spend the money if it's basically the same with a couple of new highways on there or something. Thanks!

Up dates are only maps, no change to the programming or features.

Site will give you the details on what's changed under 'release notes' from your current version

I went to the link, couldn't find a part number? I have my stock disc, I think it's version 6? I have an 07. Just want to order the correct version. Thanks guys!

Look at the 2007 GX470 row




Note that a new one will come out this fall (Oct / November) so if there isn't a rush you might want to wait a bit.

Thanks Dave, I thought I read somewhere that they weren't making the disc any longer due to the newer style Nav units? I will most certainly wait if that isn't the case not a rush at all, my old disc works perfectly. I was just wanting to have the newer updated disc. Is it true the new disc's will do away with the "I agree" screen?

That's incorrect, they still are coming out with road and POI updates every year.

It's doubtful they'll make core nav software or UI updates, but as you can see from the link there are quite a bit of changes to the content each year.

When I went to the Lexus website to put in my VIN to see the changes or additions to the mapping there surprising wasn't a lot of changes?? I mean for the a mount of money for a new disc I really don't care about a couple of **** ant residential streets. It was actually quite pathetic to know that my disc is factory from 2007 and that is all the changes that have been made where I know first hand that there have been WAY more roads and highways added here in OKC.

Not sure what you are looking at, but be aware the changes listed in release notes are only the changes for the last year release (2013 to 2014).

EDIT - I see the tool you're using.

If it doesn't have roads you are missing, don't get it or wait until they are added . Last year the release was $99 for the first couple months vs the normal $169.

Depends on how fast your area's roads are changing. I saw major changes when I upgraded mine -- no more "driving cross-country" on SH-45 for me.
