GPS version of maps, Eclipse avn827ga, GU8

[NissanGQ4.2]

A lot better than I got from Nissan and buying a brand new vehicle in 2012.

Your not wrong on that one, I don't care what brand vehicle I bought I would hope it came with up to date maps on the Nav system

Disregard my comment on no updates from 2010, not sure what happened but just found a 2012 update u can purchase, I would take it to today tonight or one of those mobs

Hi All,

I have just placed an order for a new Y61 ST Patrol (2014) and will be getting this avn827ga unit as part of it. Its not included in any offer, I am just buying it though Nissan, so I will be keen to see what version of map it comes with and the support. I believe the Nissan model number is something like ...500 fore the previous model and the one I am getting is a 510. I had a chat to their tech guys/installers and they showed me the install guide etc. As for updates they said it 200 dollars for updates. But as someone lese mentioned if you look at the eclipse site it states 3 years of free updates. I haven't got the car yet so I will be following this up also.

I purchased a Titanium edition about a month ago, the maps installed were 2012, so from the Eclipse site, I downloaded NaviExtras and purchased the 2014 update about $120....(which is on par with most other companies) no use driving with outdated maps....

Anyway, about a week ago I got some mail from Nissan which contained an Elipse card with "redeem code" which gives me 3 years of free updates...

So I updated my maps again, which was good because there was a new 2014 Q4 update, the one I paid for was 2014 Q3.

Now I'm not sure if you will get the same or if all this was part of the Titanium Edition package
