If 2014 maps are not out they will be soon. If you purchase from Ebay, look for discs that are not copies as some have had problems with pirated versions.

I looked for a thread where we discussed how to best burn the firmware to a disc but I couldn't find it. I don't remember for sure but I think it was 2X or maybe 4X. Seems to me the slower the better and burn it to a very good disc.

FYI- If you don't have the MKIV you might want to check out the features before investing further in the MKIII.

Brandon,

The link that Quicksilver posted (the person you were being an ass to) has step by step instructions on how to install the new nav software. So before you go off on someone who tried to help you, maybe you should take a minute and try to figure out the problem (especially when the link provided has the answer).

You need to burn to a very high quality disc and preferably at 1x. 2x max. Found this out the hard way…multiple burns until I finally slowed it down and used a HQ disc.
