The update for NSW has the following additions and IMHO is not worth paying $199.00 for. I realise that there may be other changes but how do you know if it's worthwhile?

Major New Roads:

Construction of 3.1km Link Road between roundabout intersection of the Pacific Highway and Brittania Drive Wanobbi and Sparks Road and Albert Warner Drive , Warnervale.
Widening of F5 Freeway from four to eight lanes between Camden Valley Way and Brooks Road.
Camden Valley Way upgrade – Bernera Road to Cowpasture Road.
Camden Valley upgrade – Narellan Road and Cobbitty Road, Harrington Park.
Central Coast Highway upgrade – (Stage 1)Carlton Road to Matcham Road.
A 54 kilometre section of Main Rd 92 (MR92) between Hames Rd (15km southwest of Nowra) and Nerriga is being upgraded.
4.5km of two lane road to be built with an additional 1.2km of southbound overtaking lane at Gounyan Curves.
Woomargama Bypass – Construction of dual carriageway bypass on the Pacific Highway at Woomargama.
6km section upgraded to dual carriageway form Wrights road to the Pacific Highway, west of Port Macquarie.
Pacific Highway 9.6km dual carriage way upgrade from Perrys Road to Lyons Road and included a bypass of Bonville.
Tarcutta bypass (Hume Highway) –Construction of dual carriageway bypass on the Pacific Highway at Tarcutta.
Banora Point upgrade, Pacific Highway -2.5km of six lane road including new interchange and realignment of Laura Street.

The update in this thread is only for denso equipped D3 and RRS. We've not had an updated disc for at least 5 years probably more. So for some it will be very worth it and for others it will be too exxy for our somewhat decrepit nav systems with the nice voice !

Still too expensive in my opinion.

I just got it, hardly any difference, just a few more roads by the look. I was on V15 beforehand.

Worth it you think to have updated maps ? No change to functionality of the nav I assume ?

functionality looks the same. I'm just a geek who likes the latest! It's expensive but since the last update was several years ago, I thought it was worth it.

Not a chance! Not when my Garmin comes with free map updates.

Yeah I can't understand having satnav in the car. I'll stick with Google Maps on my iPhone and local knowledge for most else!

I was told by the local dealer in Canberra the maps were not due out until next year ?
How old is this release ? Is it current as of 2014?
