All good detail changes, but....................
If only they would remove the stupid "I Agree" prompt everytime you start the car, I am sure everyone here would buy the disk!!

hi
old news
got mine last week
dont you think its quicker at finding destinations?
dunc life is tooooo short.enjoy the moment.dont worry be happy
If I borrow someone's new satnav disc... put it in my unit... and it upgrades it... and I then return said disc and go back to my old one... Will the world end? Or will I have these new features without the financial outlay of a new disc? (Which I don't need because mine already has enough roads on it)
I know already that a YIW500130 dvd works in a system that's been upgraded to YIW500260, because somewhere out there there's an enterprise vehicle that suffered a 'downgrade' a few months ago, to absolutely no ill-effect.
Would one of you folks with the new disc mind putting your old one back in briefly to see what happens?

Unfortunately the latest US based NAV disc doesn't offer this upgrade... blah! Looks like I may have to snag a EU disc just for the software upgrade.. That cancel button is definitely easier to work with than the current one!!
