Navigation/GPS question
New Stingray GPS/Navigation system:
I ordered a new Stingray from Chriswell Chevy in MD and was told by the salesman that the GPS Nav system is updated with new maps and changes regularly by the OnStar system and this was free - part of the Stingray experience - all automatic, no user involvement.
Since that (after the order was placed) I have been told that they will not honor the Vet discount that they agreed to, and now today I am learning that the GPS / Nav system is not updated by OnStar - as you can imagine, the only reason I ordered the Nav system was because of what the sales person stated - OnStar updates the system and no fee for updates.
Anybody: How is the Nav system updated?
Is there a cost for updates (new maps)?
thanks.

As far as cost GM has not stated the price for a ungrade when available, in the past there has been a charge for new DVDs in the old systems, however, I assume these willl be updated via SD, onstar or at the dealers. I do not know the method nor to my knowledge has GM told us.

No over the air upgrades. When a map update becomes available it can be purchased here: http://allthingsnav.navigation.com. It will come in a format you can load, most likely an SD card. Typical price is $199.
