New navigation DVD

Hi There,

My Chevrolet dealer told me that Chevrolet is working on a new DVD for
the useless present navigation system on the 2005 Corvette.

John Leahy

Useless how, please? Mine works rather better than other NAV systems
I've had in cars.

Most manufacturers update their NAV databases about annually, typically
in the fall to coincide with new model introductions.

Would that be a "training DVD"? Been my experience that the operator is
the limiting factor when it comes to technology and the public.

Bob -

I believe the gentleman is referring to the navigation database DVD that
the system uses. These are updated, typically annually, as the road net
changes and the software is improved.

Since this is the 3rd model year that the DVD system has been available
from GM, I'll have to count that "gentleman" in the troll category based
on the way he phrased the statement.

I don't own a C6, but I would imaginge it's the same DVD database my
Escalade has. Not wonderful.
Many times, I have trouble getting it to find roads that begin with "West"
or "North" etc.

GM should take a look at Toyota's Nav system. It's the nicest one out
there. (IMHO)

Expensive............???
If you think it's expensive, then IMHO you have no business owning or
considering owning a VETTE...........
