I never had Navigation in a car before.....so sorry for the dumb question, but do I leave the disc in the car? I would think so...just looking for conformation.

Thank You

 

Good question

 

If it is the factory NAV unit it stays in the head unit all the time.

 

Thanks. Yes it is factory. I wish the graphics were a bit better. But its the latest disk and all works fine. (2012 disc)

 

I have the 2013 GM NORTH AMERICA MAP UPDATE 22846887
Unfortunately in my area there is so much road construction that it looks like i am doing a lot of offroading according to my dash.

 

I too have some construction in my area, but the disc is pretty useful and I am impressed that is shows remote National Forests Roads (4 wheel drive dirt roads) up in the mountains in central Nevada.

I also feel that the graphics are pretty good.
They have side road names at higher magnification and good contrast to read names and roads while bouncing down the road.

I still have the 2012 disc and I often wonder if getting a newer one would be worth the costs ??

 

In the H2, I just added bluetooth capability and use WAZE on my phone for guidance.
I Just need to look down below dashboard Nav to see my phone, plus it talks
"In 500 feet, make a left as KickAss Ave"
"Beware, police reported ahead"

In my H3 I replaced radio with Android unit (Asteroid Parrot)

 

That's the thing that has always made me nervous about factory NAV systems; keeping them updated. I suppose in some parts of the country, it's not too big of a deal, but in SoCal, there is road construction going on 365 days a year. My smartphone with Google Maps is always up to date!

 

tell me how to get g maps on my phone,,,im slow on phone stuff!!

 

Seriously?
#1 If you got an android phone - looks for the app called "MAPS"
#2 If you got an iPhone, look on AppStore for Google Maps and install it
