Yes, you should buy the updated DVD disc with the updated maps.

I just bought the East west Mpas not gonna use the west. Although the split is on state away kinda sucks

[vskchoi]

what kind of regions does the west cover?
interested in selling the west?

Everything west of MN. I might split it up

We use a Garmin in one of our other vehicles and it's light years ahead of OEM nav...i once considered putting it in the X instead of updating the DVD.

Every time i see this advert i can't help but think of the nav in our X5:

seriously, right? why they can't make a navigation that can be similar to Lexus or something like that..... touch screen... display all the icon and POI on the map... some times European cars just way too slow on those kind of stuff.
