Default Any info on 09 NAV disc?

With the new ISx showing up, is there any info on any new features or changes to the nav with a new version of the disc?

Since no one is answering I assume the 09's come with 7.1 disc...

Has anyone confirmed the disc version even?

It's unlikely a new disc will fix that. The navigation system doesn't have the GPS coordinates of every home in the country. Instead, it knows the range of addresses on the street (or section of the it), and assumes that the houses are equally spaced along the street. Usually it gets you very close, but if homes on your street are particularly unevenly spaced, I could see how it could be off.

Is that the issue just with our GPS or all GPS's?

All--I get the same thing in my Honda--address may be a few digits off.

That may really be a bonus. Some safety experts say you should never put in your exact address. If your car is ever stolen you wouldn’t want a burglar to drive up to your house when you're not home, open the garage with your homelink, and steal everything in sight.

Exactly. I have mine in the general vicinity, but I also don't have my address plugged in as HOME. I just marked it with the marker on the nav.
