Jaak, I believe you said you didn't get the Nav, is that right? If so, that's too bad. I was hoping to hear if anyone has tried to hack the nav software by reverse engineering a reprogramming CD.
I ordered the updated DVD to prepare for an upcoming cross country tip, and found that they use a CD to update the NAV software before you can use the updated DVD. They even publish a big warning that you should not attempt to play the reprogramming CD on an audio CD player because of risk to damage to your speakers and ears.
If the NAV software is flashable, I'd love to replace it with a tiny instance of Linux that runs open source navigation software, assuming of course, that the DVD flash is running an OS and the application. Beats paying $185 a year for a new DVD with improvements that basically only reflect changes that **I** report to zenrin (being the only one geeky enough in my neighborhood)
They should really institute a method for earning a free update by reporting a certain number of verifiable inconsistencies. I had to beg them to get rid of an airport near my house that had been gone 5 years before I bought the car! Next year I hope they include the new highway that was finished 3 years ago :11:
