Question Map update beyond 7.1?

I just got a postcard from Lexus advising me there is a map update available for "only" $265.

I guess I thought 7.1 was the latest one out ... is there now a newer one?

(EDIT: It won't let me fix it now, but I meant to say "beyond" instead of "betond" in the subject line.)

Betond is probably better; it's an appropriate reflection our new generation's declining spelling skills.

Boy, THAT'S for sure, and nowhere can you find more spelling, grammar or syntax errors than in online forums (fora?).

It's second only to this generation's inability to make change for a dollar ... even when they have those cash registers that tell them how much change to give you.

I doubt there is anything newer than 7.1. I'm sure you are just getting a postcard from a dealer that is a bit behind the times.

Mike, I too received the post card yesterday. Watch for the small fine print on the bottom. "Labor cost is not included". So its not just $265.

Hmmm ... it just occurred to me that this post card may be for the IS350 I sold a year ago.

I also received the post card and I already have 7.1 installed. I don't think there is a newer version out now...
