| My daughter is tired of getting ripped off by the dealer to upgrade her nav system. Is there a DIY or other inexpensive way to upgrade it. She is in the Raleigh NC area. |

She's not getting ripped off if she wants something she cannot afford. I've worked at a dealership for 30+ years and if you think the dealership is cheap to run you are mistaken. I will agree, many of the employee's are not as knowledgeable as they should.
Phone apps are better than any factory installed navigation systems I've ever used. |

Butcher, you are dead on! However, Road maps and a compass work great too. It is like a little book with lots of streets / roads on it, but it is harder to use compared to a nav or smartphone. You actual have to be able to read and know whats North , south ...... and the best the battery never dies! Never sends you to the wrong direction also.  |

| Good luck in finding a road map. Those have been out of print for awhile now. |
