Mitsubishi Triton: GPS update

Cars are equipped with the latest maps available at the time they're built, but that can be months, or more, before they are delivered to the owner. In that time delay the maps can be upgraded, which means they're out-dated before the car is handed over to the owner. That's frustrating, and while the carmakers say there is nothing they can do, perhaps they should think about installing locally the latest maps available during the pre-delivery process. That way they would be up to date when the car is delivered. That, however, doesn't overcome the problem of excessive prices being charged for any subsequent updates. Again, carmakers should look at their pricing and bring them into line with those being charged in the aftermarket. Talk to your dealer again and ask for him to request a free update from Mitsubishi.
