Since it is now late December 2011, I was wondering if there was any idea when the 2012 update will come out?

I would hate to pay full-price for 2011 only to have 2012 come out in a couple weeks.

No, I did not. I asked here first.

If someone here had already asked, knew the answer and could posted it here, then the contact person would not have to answer that same question to multiple people.

If this board is going to send people there because they give us discounts, we probably should make a little effort to make their jobs a little easier.

I did not realize this was such hot-button topic.

So, does anyone know the answer?

I wrote the following:

When will the 2012 DVD come out and how much will it cost? Thank you.
The response I received was the following:

we’re unfortunately not able to speculate as to the price of a future product – we simply don’t know. Navigation DVD’s are release annually around October. The 2012 DVD is not expected until October 2012.
Now we know.

I wonder, could one just buy an older dvd, like lets say from 2009 or 2010? Maybe I'll look into that for now. I'm not sure how old my navi dvd is. I'm sure it's old.

You can apparently buy those on ebay, but who knows what you actually end up with.
