Default Favor: 2008 Nav Address Lookup

I'm debating whether or not to buy the new disc, but want to know if an address is on the DVD (it'll provide me info as to how updated the disc really is).

Can someone please map:

184 Southern Valley Court
Mars, PA 16046

Let me know if it's on the disc. Thanks!

if no one does by later I'll try to remember to check it out...
I think the dvd map discs only cover earth and not mars though.

edit: don't have an 08

He obviously bought a brand new house, and want to know if the nav will recognize the address--a legit concern.

If it doesn't, you can always just program your home address as the address where the existing street intersects the new street--I'm guessing you could find your way home from there...

Yes, I obviously know that I can program a nearby address and find my way home...that's what I do now. The reason for my post is that I know when my building was built, and therefore can judge the amount of detail that the new DVD would have for the area that I live in by whether or not my house is on the disc yet.

It's not necessarily that scientific. Just because 2 different roads were built in the same year won't automatically mean that they are both on the update. My Honda has this issue--some newer roads show up, whereas a road built 2-3 years eariler isn't shown.

Verify the Nav Disk version..can't tell you how to do it off the top of my head..its somewhere in the menus however

Try your address..or any other of interest

Or he could just ask here and some kind soul could answer his question and not give him so much guilt for such a simple request?

I always find it interesting when someone makes a comment like this. Not sure what made you think I was making feel guilty..His post was out for quite a while with no real responses..So I was trying to help..not hinder.

Thank you StanISlove. (and sjgIS350). Long thread for such a simple request. I didn't realize the controversy an address lookup would create, but thanks for those who took it for a simple favor and helped me out
