Have you updated your NAV DVD from 5.1 to 6.1, and if so, what differences have you found? Im in the Los Angeles Area, and Im not seeing any changes!

 

LOL, there arent really except now you lost the ability to do the nav bypass and enter destinations while moving.

 

Check out to see if brand new businesses are on that new Nav DVD...

 

Im getting mines updated right now, cause it shows the wrong destination. And its kind of annoying.

 

Well did you have the 5.X version and were you able to keep it and/or "back" it up?

 

Im pretty sure Im not going to get it back, the cars are the dealership and I handed thme the TSIB and in the end it said to break the disc LOL. As far as the version I had goes, I have no idea. The cars an 06.

 

I was successful in making a "hybrid" DVD, so I have not lost the override. I am now using my "backup" DVD in the car and it works like a charm!

.....BTW, I noticed that during guided navigation, the arrows on to freeway exchanges are more 3d looking, other than that I haven't seen anything else.
I can only assume that it has updated POI's, but I have yet to find one.....

 

Okay so I have heard a lot of talk around here about people being able to see how many sat the gps is connected to... I have an 07 with I assume the 6.1 version. Where is it that I have to look to find that out?

 

This is the only other menu on my system that Ive found, besides the "override" menu. Unfortunately it does not have the sat count....that is in the override menu....
Im not sure if it is the same on 6.1, but on 5.1 Hold the hard "disp" button on the left side of the NAV, while you switch your lights from off to parking lights three times....
.....So I guess the answer to your question, is on 6.1, you do not get a SAT count unless you create a hybrid DVD

 

there's a tsib to go from 5.x to 6.x

 

my destinations are way off so i'm probably going to update to 6.1 version as well. i have used the 5.1 overrride maybe about a dozen times in 18 months so honestly, i don't think i'll miss it.

 

Check out the extension to the 210 freeway towards San Bernardino. Much better on the 6.1 map version than the 5.1 version.

 

so is there a TISB for the 6.1 .. or do i have to fish out couple hundreds for the new version ...

 

TSIB!

 

Yea there is a TSIB and I believe its EL003-07 one... might be wrong though, ask your service rep to look it up.
