unfortunately that is the only place you can get them. Or if its possible get someone with a new 2013 and copy their DVDs. Not sure if its possible as I haven't tried but hey, man made it, man can fix it.
Here is a link with instructions on how to back up your NAV Discs:

what's the latest version?
My Z has been in storage for 2 years -- I rarely ever used the Nav in my vette anyway...
If you are tech savy - you can find the 2012 versions on the pirate bay. Not sure that sort of thing is condoned here.
200 is a ripoff though -- with as much publicly available data these days, the cost to reproduce it per disc is literally pennies.
For the cost of the damn Nav disc -- you can almost go and buy an entire ipad mini... those hand with modding and electronics can have it integrated into the dash quite easily. Hot spot on the phone for a connection, google maps caches entire cities in the app... would be a far more versatile solution in the long run.

Wow, looks like my NAV doesn't need an update.

There are people on this forum that will burn one for you for a resonable price. If they do not send you a message, let me know and I will give you a contact.
Once I was going through all the procedures to buy one from GM.....got to the last page and the S&H was around $15. I might have fell of the watermelon wagon to pay that kind of price for a CD, but it wasn't lastnight. No way I was going to pay that much to ship a CD.
Someone on the forum took care of my problem after they heard me bitching about it.

Version 8.0 is what comes in the new 2013. I don't think there were any changes since 2011-2012. I bought a v6.0 which I was told came out of a 2010. It's insane how much they want for these discs.

yeah 15 dollars to ship something that might weigh what? 3oz?
For the price they are charging and for what it does (poorly I might add) just not worth it. When you charge 15 dollars on top of 200, you deserve to lose ALL your business.
