Buick Navigation System Update

[phetaroi]

My Lacrosse is 2 years old. Love it.

But in the past couple of weeks I've gotten emails and mailings from Buick saying I should get a navigation system update for $140.

Have any of you done this? Is it really worth it?

I did on my 2011 Cadillac DTS in 2013 mostly because of the
fact that Valley is constantly changing.

My 2016 no longer has this feature as it's updated automatically.

I have the GPS deal on my phone, but I'd rather look at a
bigger screen on the dash

Does your area have a lot of construction and do you do quite
a bit of traveling ?

I'll probably be moving from Colorado Springs to Phoenix in the next few months (at least I hope I will). Beyond that, not so much traveling anymore.

As noted, unless you are in an area where the roads have changed a lot recently, there isn't much different from update to update, and generally more of them are around points of interest than actually roads and navigation.

I updated mine every 4-5 years or so instead of dropping the money every year or two for slight updates.

Congratulations

Unless you have to find a certain address in a newer development most of the
valley is set up an a easy grid system, and if you keep in mind that everything
east of Central Ave are Streets and to the west are Avenues you'll be OK
it's worked well for me for 40+ years

I get the same mailers. But, quite frankly, the GM navigation system is so primitive that I rarely ever use it. What I use instead is Apple CarPlay and Maps on my iPhone. If you have an Android smart phone, just use Android Auto instead of Apple CarPlay. No upgrading needed.
