Or keep your eye out on Ebay

My husband has also just bought a 3 year old CRV and the satnav is horrendous. It sends him in the wrong direction all the time. perhaps the modern upgrade software is better. Did anyone have any ideas on finding it cheaper?

If its any consolation its not just Honda - all manufacturers do the same.

This thread (over 12 months!) is almost as old as the DVD in my Honda Sat Nav.

I've looked for upgrades (the DVD in mine was nearly a year old - because that's the best update frequency - when I bought the car new) several times - with no success.

The stuff on Ebay is either dubious - or of the same age (2004/5) as in my car. Other dealers sell mainly CDs .. but, again, no more up to date than mine.

This FAQ on What Car seems to best describe it :-

....i.e. it's via Honda or nothing. The best advice I can offer is to carry a back up map! Or change the car - which I intend to do next month. On the plus side - it's been a pretty excellent car otherwise!

I was under the impression that Honda sat-nav is an Alpine unit. So you may want to contact Alpine-Europe for advice.
I know for a fact that the USA Honda sat-nav is definitely Alpine.

Has anyone had their sat nav converted to a dvd player? Apparently it is an easy fix.

[goldspanners]

im sure i saw honda sat nav updates on ebid earlier on.
worth a look.

Buy a map and plan ahead, maybe...?!

Ditch the inbuilt and get a tomtom

[hewhoisnotintheknow]

i wouldnt bother, roads dont change that much, use a bit of common sense if the road appears to have changed, besides it will always reroute you

In all fairness, the Honda ones ARE fantastic! They are very easy to use and I love the way it's all touch screen and doubles up as a DVD player

So it's an illegal copy?

I'd just buy a stand alone Sat Nav. You can get a decent Tom Tom or Gramin for around £100 with up to date maps.

Try the link below, they have got updates for all makes.

"www satnav-discs.com" £39.99 - make sure you select the correct version for your car. Honda CRV 02 - 06 is Option 1

So, first post, on a thread 2.5 years old, pointing to a website with no physical contact details and a hotmail address only........
