Agreed. Now if they could interface with ODBII to display and record performance data or provide a radar detector interface with the NAV display I would be seriously interested. All things to come one day in a future model I'm sure. Not likely to happen with current models.

I Like it better off -- it never ran at the same speed as the clock in the gauge cluster and neither of them tell the correct time anyway lol

Nissan here in Australia say the update is $420 which in my opinion is far too steep if I don't even know the cities updated, not to mention any updates to the firmware to speed up menus etc. Does anyone know if I can install a "trial" and/or download it from somewhere to see if it suits me?

I bought a factory certified 2011 over the weekend. Shouldn't they have upgraded the maps?

FWIW:

I ordered the update (@ $270...tax and shipping)

Then the fun begins.

You are supposed to be able to update it yourself. So I read it over and the first question is do they REALLY mean to leave the engine running during the whole installation or not? They don't actually say it that way, they say, "engine on". Not running but, ON. So, to be sure, I called the helpdesk (to make sure the insturciotns didn't just mean "leave the ignition switch on"). The guy had to check around. Yep, you need to let your engine run the whole time.

So, here I am Sunday morning with a big industrial fan running at my radiator and start the install. Second problem. Have to make sure the existing version is lower than the version on the CD (the application software for the nav system). So, it says to look at the last 5 digits to see if the CD version is higher. So, my existing system says (something like) "52008" on it and the CD version is listed as "A2001". WTF? How do I know which is higher !? They don't tell me it's in HEX (which makes the "A" higher). They have no info on their site. So, I call the helpdesk again (which is listed as 8 - 5 Central US time). Of course, they are closed on Sundays but they don't mention that on the information they sent about contacting the helpdesk.

So, I'm a bit disappointed in their product so far. Their their reference to the "engine being on" could be written more clearly to say something like, "motor/engine on and running". They could list or explain version numbers better. And they could actually list ALL the info concerned with when the helpdesk is available.

After getting the free WAZE app on my ipad and iphone, there is no reason for me to pay for nav in a head unit again.

Anyone know how often they put this on sale?

Usually only when it first comes out. I haven't seen it for sale at any other time.

But there is no 370Z in this listing: NAVTEQ - Maps for your Nissan Navigation System :confused:

You use the Z Coupe and then select your year.

Here is the site for the Europe maps.
