Navi version 2.03 upgrade in 2002 TL - Acura Forum

liplip · 10-02-08, 09:38 PM

Evenin' folks. Bought a used 2002 TL Type S this week. Apparently the previous owner was not big on GPS as the disk in trunk is version 2.03, with a copyright date of 1999. My previous car had an aftermarket GPS system from 2007 that had very nice graphics, easy to read, etc. The version 2.03 looks like old school Atari as compared to my previous GPS system. I found the website for getting the newer discs/maps but I am concerned that the graphics (or lack therof) will be the same. Do the newer discs also provide for better graphics and/or features? The website where you purchase the discs does not make mention of any improvements to the screen, etc. I greatly appreciate any feedback that you can give me...

I was driving an 09 TL loaner car and the Navi looked just like my 05 RL

So now I must pray that the 05 version was much better than the 02 (before I send off a check for the newer disc)

The graphics will look exactly the same--even with the latest update. The only things that change are the updates to the POI database and the maps (and some minor software tweaks).
