    Transferred certainly makes it sound like they are copied - but not my problem

    Still waiting for a map update, my dealer still has no idea when it will be.

    Yeah. Sympathise with you. Hate having stuff all over the top of the dash and windscreen but think it's time to buy a Garmin or Tom Tom!

    Hey Pirate, is MY13 update available from dealers. My current car is Dec11 build and according to a number of dealers who claim to have checked there is no update since then.

    Yeah it is. Better to grab a genuine part off ebay as it'll save you a lot of coin. I got it for my AUG11 build and the difference in the maps is massive (was missing whole suburbs in Canberra before the update).

    GPS was a waste of space till the 13 map updates. Don't matter if it's Garmin, Holden or Tom tom, it's all pretty much the same.
    Just hope the 15,16 updates are another step forward. Never buy Garmin without free life map updates as that's how they get you.

    Got a good deal on 1 of the higher model hand helds for going bush. Then found the ebay topo maps won't work on these later models.
    Garmin got another $200 off me. The car 1 was about the same cost to get new unit as pay for the maps. Got life maps but they still get you to keep speed cam updated you got to subscribe to about $50 a year.

    "Things you Need to know" is in small print and a bit blurry but it looks like they have made a mistake and said stand alone cost is also $165. Have I read that right?

    Reading the small print, the cost of the update is $165, or $229 if they install it for you. If the installation is during a scheduled service before 31/05/2015, then installation will be free, i.e. $165 installed.

    In my case, scheduled service has just been done, so none is scheduled during the offer period.
