2007 super crew with the original 4p navigation DVD. I have a real problem paying $200 for the latest Navteq DVD when I can get a portable device with lifetime maps and traffic for just a bit more. But, I do like having it in the dash. Any thoughts?

 

Anybody, anybody? Bueller?

 

I'm in the same boat as well! I just did a search and was taken to some torrent sites. Hmmm!

 

I found 9p. What is needed, Nero, DL dvd, and a good 9p torrent.

 

Still have never pulled the trigger on a DVD. Bought a nice large screen Garmin with lifetime updates and have been using that combined with the old existing maps.

 

Best Buy is selling the Garmin 50LM for not much over $100. That's a 5 inch screen and free lifetime map updates. I used mine yesterday and it works great. I bought mine at Target last Christmas for $129.

I also have updated the maps twice since I bought it. It comes with a short USB cord and is a plug and play process.

Anyone have any info on the newest version? is it 11p?

 

I just got a "special" in the mail knocking a few bucks off of the supposed latest version. When I went to the Ford update store, it offers a $25 Visa gift card if you purchase 11P. 11P was issued June 2012. $25 isn't much of a sale but better than the full $200.

 

I'm not a computer literate type person. I'm a Brontasourus. What do you mean when you say "4p" going to a "10p"? I've always disliked the nav system in mine. It never takes the route "I think" it should take. Most the time it will take strange routes. For instance, I went to my uncles in jersey yesterday for a visit. From me it's a pretty direct route. Basicly from Delaware, rt 1 north to I95 to I495, back onto I95 at PA, past Philly airport to Jersey, to the exit where he lives in Laweranceville, New Jersey. Then just a couple of turns and he's about 5 minutes from the freeway. Wether I tried fastest or shortest, changed preferances, the darn thing had me taken the Delaware Memorial bridge into jersey, then god knows where. Tried a few other "preferances" and then it had me taken some strange side streets...... I hate this thing. It doesn't memorize previous routes, just previous destinations and way points. Instead of having to go back and hitting all the way points, I would like the option of retaining a full previous route that I can just "hit" as a memory. And it never takes the same route twice, even if I delete and retry, it gets weirder and stranger on the routes it picks. Even thou I usually know my way, I like to compare distances, travel times, check traffic, and enjoy my ride. Not worry if I'm gonna get lost on a side street. I know that it can be updated, but I'm asumeing that's for routes? Anyway, sorry for rambling. Just wanted to find out about this 4p to 10p stuff and if it would help the situation. Thanks.......

 

Can you explain this a little more? What is Nero?

 

You'll need to get a program (like Nero) to burn the files to a dvd-r disc. Get the 8gig disks, when burned updated maps for my Avic D3 the 4 gig were to small. Then like said find a clean file to downloadable torrent, kick *** torrents or the pirate bay are still working. Should come with a read me file with instructions.

 

Ahh..okay. Sweet thanks. I will have to try this out and see if it works. Appreciate it.

 

Would you have to use Nero or can you just use whatever DVD burning software comes on your computer? If thats a stupid question, I apologize. I am used to burning music/making CDs and such but not much about files or movies.

 

The file will be a, Image File (.ISO) so if your DVD burning software will do .ISO you will be good to go. Burn from image on slowest speed.
Use a DVD(+)(-)R DL(double layer)= 8.5Gigs
A DVD+R DL reportedly works.
Check for viruses before opening any 9P files.

 

Thanks for the help man...i appreciate it..I am going to look on KAT to check and see that the torrent is available before I get the Nero software and the DVDs.
