Navigation System in CX-9 (2008.01 DVD)
My 2008 CX-9 came with a 2006.02 navigation system DVD which ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! I couldn't find streets/addresses existing for 50-60 years, never mind more recent (but pre-dating 2006) ones. The system (Japanese DENSO) often gets "confused" and attempts to take me to places in different directions than my fed-in destination. And compared to any other commercial GPS (TOM-TOM, GARMIN) the graphics are rather primitive & non-intuitive. In my dispair I ultimately bought a portable TOM-TOM (Duch product), that is miles ahead of Mazda's Denso in all respects. The most bothersome aspect w. Mazda is that (after providing a grossly sub standard GPS in an otherwise splendid car!), they are offering an "updated" nav DVD (2008.01) for $199! Can anyone who has the 2008.01 DVD let me know about their experience(s) with it?

P.S. The TOM-TOM can be updated with the latest maps (of the original geographic region), points of interest, etc. TO THE MINUTE with easy internet downloads absolutely FREE!
