2013 for '06-'07 Nav Map In!

[antzrus]

I just purchased the V 7.8 2013 Nav DVD for my '06 M. My V 7.7 2011-2012 is for sale; $115.00 & free shipping in the USA. Let me know if interested. In about x5 days I'll put it on E-Bay for same price. Below is my final receipt for the new one.

How does it compare? I've been using the 08-09 (or whatever the first upgrade was from the original) and aside for about 3 places I regularly come across, I haven't noticed inaccuracies.

I have renewed each year since '07; I'm a bit compulsive... I have noted better coverage in my relatively small town (40k) each year. As far as big cities (i.e. Seattle), I haven't noticed much change. I think they first concentrated on getting the big cities done and the smaller cities get better as the years go by. There was also some major road work done in our area a few years ago and it finally showed up on last yr's disc.

If you live in a major city or well populated area I would imagine it won't change much. But traveling across the country you might find many changes.

ah, good to know

Yes, please look at my first comment on this thread; above. The price is firm.

Can't PM you-you've shut off receipt of same.

Navteq usually places the new discs on sale for $100.00 within a month or two for a brief period.

Have you gotten 7.8 yet?

[Kizio]

No, not yet. I wasn't aware the new version came out until I saw this thread today. Being on Navteq's mailing list is so pointless; they don't even bother to send out any notifications.

Since when? I've been purchasing them for years at their outrageous prices and selling the old ones on E-bay for a third less. For the past 6 years I've never seen them for $100..?

[Ilya]

He's right. They were under $100 at one point for a short while (like $95).

But, I'm surprised they released to quick. Usually it's like March when they come out it seemed.

I've seen it happen every time for at least the past two or three disc versions.

Really, now you tell me. I paid $165 total for the new one. As I've said I put my 2011-2012 up on E-Bay for $115.00 w/free posting. It's probably still cheaper than the apparent $100 + postage + tax you are talking about.

I'll have to keep an eye out for the $100 edition. Let us know on the list when this apparently happens!

Thanx.

[Kizio]

It's on sale now for $99.

[donnieb83]

^It IS!!! I have last years version and compare it to my OEM disc from 07 and there isn't much difference (in my location). A great deal to jump on!

[antzrus]

Whoa! It is! I paid $165.00 total for 7.8 a few months ago.

I've been had!!#^&^@@!!

[Larz]

Thanks for the update !
I'm on the 2012 (7.7 i think) disc now so I may wait another year or two just in case it hasn't changed much since last year. Previously there haven't been sinificant changes in my area. I sold my old discs on Ebay for 1/2 price including shipping. It helps recoup some of the cost and they sell in a couple of days.

Of course.... stupid X9 discs for '11 and '12 are $249. Awesome.

That's really odd; I would've thought the latest generation M's would have a hard drive based navigation system considering Infiniti switched over to HDD's for the 2008 model and used that until 2010. I wonder why they reverted to a DVD based navigation system for the newer generation.
