Are there any issues in running a new Navteq discin my unit? Do the new discs only work with updated systems? If so, I think I'll just live with a seven year-old disc......
TIA

Hi, upgrading the OS is really no great issue as long as the battery voltage is good and the OS disc is good.
3-1/63 is much much better than the older versions, and has a much easier to use interface
The benefit of a newer map CD will depend on the amount of road changes in your area. I don't know what maps discs cover San Diego so cannot say what the latest disc is, but it is likely to work with your nav.
