One of the guys at work has an inbuilt GPS in his Beemer and he enquired about updating the mapping info, I think his is about 3 or 4 years old, and they said it would be something like $300-$400...needless to say he told them where to put the update. He said he could buy a brand new one for less that would have all the latest bells and whistles!
Interesting that mine had Eastlink already in it, and when driving down to Frankston it would tell us to stay right (and not drive through the concrete barricade), but it doesn't have the extension to South Road and it always goes nuts when we continue across the intersection!
I always think it is an oversight by the software developers that they can't have it realise that you are not actually driving through a paddock, and instead it should read in the data as you are driving and enter a new road into it's little brain. That way it would automatically update itself with any new roads you happen to drive on. As a programmer myself, I can't see that it could be THAT hard!
