Worthwhile upgrading nav software?

[robaustin]

I have a 2005 300C with Navteq version B. Anybody have any opinions on whether it is worthwhile to upgrade to the E version if you live in Southwestern Ontario (London area). I don't mind the cost if I get some more streets and gas stations out of the deal.

I got a laugh out of this reply because when I was doing the original message, I considered saying that I wasn't interested any more roads in Timbuktu, just Ontario where I live need to get around. Anyway, Navteq makes the software for the factory NAV units.

I'm not really familiar with the Navteq version, is it the same disc as used in the Factory in dash NAV or is it different, or am I just not making the connection with the name.

Big thanks to Mr. Incredible for the Nav hack and thanks to Ultimatecarman for the referral. Also, I had wondered whether the upgrade from AB to AE would be worthwhile for adding new and missing roads. For users in Southwestern Ontario, I can report that the upgrade is very worthwhile. I do engineering work and often go to new subdivisions. I checked and there are many new roads in this category. Also, I drive rural roads and lots of the areas now show the side roads that were missing from version AB.
