Map Updates for Nav system

I went to http://www.mazdanavigation.com/ContactUs/ a couple of months ago and posted a message indicating my dissatisfaction in having purchased on 09 vehicle and receiving older maps. I have had several problems with the maps, and I told them that having paid for a nav system, I expected to get something usable. I received a prompt reply and was instructed to order them from Denso (through the site), and upon receipt submit the order number to Mazda for a full refund. I did, and received the refund in good time. The rebate was even sent back since I had moved, and they were diligent about calling and resending to our new address. I did have to pay up front (with a credit card), but I was very impressed with how professionally Mazda handled the situation.

The discs are 08 discs (07 came w/our 09 cx-9), but I believe that is typical... you are always buying last year's map data. Definitely an improvement over what we had, but of course this is just the current map data and doesn't correct the often flawed logic of the GPS system itself.
 
We have a 2008. The info on the disc says......... GP7A 66 766 A ...... 2007 ver 1 ..... software version 1200

Is this a CX-7 disc ?
If it is......Whats the difference ?
 
looking for iso for newest map version 2008.1

I checked with http://www.mazdanavigation.com and for my "surprise" the latest version of the maps were way back in 2008.1, and it is not enough that but they are out of stock?!? Obviously they do not see navigation system updates as a serious bussiness, Even their price tag is ridiculous and well above the average.....(199.99), I'm surprised they run out of stock at that price!

Is there any body around that have the latest disk and willing to share an iso image? Please PM me. I have 2006.2 version on my CX-9 2007....
 
New maps soon?

According to the FAQ at mazdanavigation.com, new maps will be available on/after 4/26/2010.
 
With Toyota vehicles, which also use Denso NAVI system, the newest disc for them is 2009.1.
Mazda is simply way behind in map update.
Unless I see 2009.1 version of map, I will not update my 2006.x map on my 2008 CX9.
For me, there have been two occasions where the map was wrong. One was slightly off (for that matter Yahoo-Map was wrong also, but Google-Map was correct). The other was total wrong, thanks to new road constructed.
 
2009.1 it will be.

Called Mazda and they say the DVD should be available today at mazdanavigation.com.

Does anyone already have this and want to make a copy to sell?
 
Orderable but probably not shippable for a while. I ran into that problem during the last map update....they were still waiting for discs well after the site reflected the new version.
 
I have the 2009 ver. 1 OEM disk available for $159

or I can get you a copy, this is revision G

The disk came from mazdanavigation.com

PM if interested

Hello Everyone,

It seems that we all share the same problems when it comes to CX-9 navigation system shortfalls.

I have been searching for a newer map version than the outdated 2006 version that I have which is (GP9A 66 DZ0 B).

Can you please share what you have since I think F is the latest?

This is my email: alair_2000@yahoo.com

Thanks
