Also, is there a way to find out what city/states got updates? An update could simply mean they added a street in Alaska which is no help to me.

The update usually comes out at the end of each year. Apparently, this was not so for the newest edition. It hasn't been released yet. The 2010-2011 edition was released the end of 2010.

You don't know what has been updated-if only the name..?

I'm waiting for the disk update. Currently have 09-10 7.5 disk. They usually discount the previous release a little once they release the most current (7.6).

Very frustrating that the 2008 M has 2011-12 maps available, but those of us with the 2011 M still only have 2009-10 maps with no option to upgrade after almost two years. Gotta wonder what's going on at Navteq/Infiniti for them to allow this to happen. My house doesn't exist on the 2009-10 maps :mad:

Mind you, 2012 Ms delivered after June 2011 have 2010-11 maps. You can't even get those for the 2011 M, though. :facepalm:

I've got 7.6-just popped in once-will take out when I get 7.7 (?)-still waiting. I'll sell you 7.6 for $100 plus shipping (5-7 bucks?). I usually sell it on e-bay for $100.00. Interested?

Gotta' love that Bourbon!

Navteq has a 12 to 18 month update cycle for most of their products which means the 7.7 update should be out by March at the latest.

The past x4 years they've released the new one in the late fall of the year..?

That's true, but they generally obligate themselves to a 12-18 month cycle rather than a specific 12 month cycle. That's why the newest one hasn't come out yet.

They're already at 22 months for the 2011 M (which was released March 2010) and at 27 months for the 2010 FX (released October 2009), both with '2009-10' maps that have never been updated by NAVTEQ.

And yet '2010-11' maps come installed in the 2012 FX and 2012 M.

I'm really steamed about this, for the last 15 months, I navigate my 2011 M37x home to an unmarked spot along the nearest main street, and it gets it really wrong when I navigate away from home. I've complained multiple times, but I think we're just cursed!

The Navteq website is showing "Infiniti Navigation System X9 DVD Year 2012" for the 2011 M. Not sure if that's the new one you guys have been waiting for.
