Honda Navigation costs

Yours is one of a number of reports we have received in recent weeks that complain about the cost of GPS updates and that the updates are not always right up to the minute with the latest mapping. It’s not restricted to Honda, either; it applies to many other brands. It’s a new problem for carmakers that haven’t in the past had to makes changes as rapidly as they do with GPS systems. Another carmaker, the subject of a similar complaint to yours, says they are the mercy of their parent company and they don’t get the updates for some time after the parent company has released them in the home market. That means local owners have to wait while people who have bought an aftermarket unit have access to the latest updated much earlier. Updates for the aftermarket units are also cheaper, it seems people who buy the factory units are paying a premium for the privilege.
