Hey guys, I bought an 07 350Z convertible back in December and I've been enjoying it in this nice weather However, the GPS is thru a CD-ROM dated for 2007. It doesn't always find current places because they didn't exist 9 years ago. Has anybody else ran into this problem and can I purchase a 2016 CD-ROM for my GPS?
Thanks!

80 bucks? F that. You can buy a new system with gps for around 200. Instead of oaying 80 every few years haha

 

the one for my vette is almost $300..... so i just use my phone

 

Yikes. Mine updates for free. But i STILL dont use it and just uses my phone lol.

 

CD ROM technology is outdated. It’s slow and expensive to update. The mapping database is stored on the CD so it’s static and cannot provide traffic updates, road closures, etc. And, before your expensive and brand new CD arrives, it is out of date. But, you do have an integrated GPS solution using a large and easily viewed screen with voice commands clearly broadcasting through your car’s CES.

If your car is equipped with Nissan’s OEM navigation, you have a Clarion GPS system mated to a Bose CES (Bose H/U, external amplifiers, component speakers, and subW). The reason the CD updates are expensive is simply because there is little demand for these.

Smart phones provide a real time map that includes traffic reports and road closures. But, the screen is very small and cannot be viewed safely while driving, and the voice guidance is through your smart phone’s single speaker. This will disappoint owners of Nissan’s OEM navigation who are accustomed to a large map view on a brilliant LCD screen with voice commands broadcasting over the car’s speakers.

The best solution is a CES that allows “plugging in” your smart phone.
