Updating car navigator?

Question

I have a car navigator but it is old. I'd like to know if there is possible to upgrade it or buy upgraded CD from Internet or somewhere else?

Answer 1

Depends on the model navigator you have. Most new ones have the capability to be updated with CD/DVD.
First thing, Google your maker and see what they say about your model.

I have one in my Mazda van. At first I didn't really want it, but the dealer was hot to trot & threw in the option for free. Now I really like it, but, to be honest, I turned off the cute little robot voice that kept telling me things over & over: you're 700 meters from your turn; you're 500 meters from your turn; you're 300 meters from your turn ... Ok, Ok, I got it - shut up!
If you live any place where there's a lot of roadwork and building going on, you will need one that can be updated on a regular basis.
Happy hunting!
