You'd have to buy a new map sd card and hope those roads make it on there. If you ask me they should all just use google maps or something that can be updated via cellular.

 

Waze is better anyway

 

tolko do tex por poka est cell signal ... i chto potom?

 

Once every one or two years you'll receive a letter from Infiniti saying there is an update available for your GPS. The letter will offer a discount if you order it. You then go to the dealer, provide them the code you received when you placed the online or phone order, and they will install the new disc.

 

ADG is correct.

BTW I agree with you that the GPS on the Q is pretty darn good for an OEM system. The one in my merc is not as intuitive and doesnt look as nice.

 

Agreed - Infiniti does a good job on GPS. The Q uses the same system as the G and my G37 was more accurate than any other car or standalone GPS system with which I had any experience. My only nitpick is there seem to be a lot of "in one mile bear to the left" (for example) when all you really need to do is just go straight and not take an exit. But better that than confusing or incorrect directions.

 

Another added benefit to our system is that we have direct input buttons, i.e. Home, Destination, etc. On the e class you have to go to the screen menu which sucks

 

Overall I am totally happy with q50 GPS - it is called NUVI3590 and has more fun stuff than the one on E class and costs $200 instead of $1400 and traffic and maps updates are free

 

The only thing I dont like about the Navi is the traffic part seems to not really advise of alternate routes to speed up travel time even though it advises me of the heavy congestion ahead. It might have to do with the XM maybe

 

New technology is coming soon that will link your cell phone to your car's screen and input ability. Perhaps by the time an update is necessary it will be available so that you can mirror your phone on your car's screen to some degree.
