Tnx

I'd really like to hear from someone who has the new maps, just to see if they improved the POI so that you can search for things like best buy etc.

i've asked the same questions. i don't think the poi's have changed much in the updated maps. there are still no retail stores in there. not even the post office (which i thought was really sucky)

i agree heman... u pretty much need the exact address of where you're going for it to be useful- which is kind of lame. so, using it to find points of interest is for the most part useless...

Any headway there?

I tried. Would have worked if Mazda had included the updated map discs with some of the last few 05 RX-8s that were built. Didn't end up being the case from what I saw. Even people who bought the last few boat loads of 2005 RX-8s with navs still got the older map discs. That was the only way the dealership was going to be able to get the updated disc for me.

I don't care too much anymore, especially here in this city.

In this or any of my GPSs I only use the street view. If you really need something saying left right forward backward to get around town then you have got some issues.

acura & lexus' nav's are suh-weeet. mazda should copy theirs.

Yeah,

If I was living in Omaha, NE I too wouldnt need Nav.
