View Full Version : Map Updates for Nav system

Ok, another new toy question. When I registered my GT at Mazda, they offered a link for check for map updates to Navdeq. When I went to their site, they did not list the Mazda CX-9 as one of the vehicles for which they have updates.

Does anyone know whether that company is the one that does map updates?

More immediately, does anyone know what the current version of the maps is?

I think that the manufacturer of the Navi system is DENSO .. but not sure about the maps. The ones listed in the Mazda site are NAVTEQ.. I have used Navtech in my PDA before .. my CX9 maps maps seem different.

Good god. Read your DVD disc.

What's a DVD disc?(hah)

Seriously, tho', the fact that the Mazda site and its vendor's sites are not in accord on whether they support the CX-9 doesn't leave me with any warm and fuzzies about whether they are the right vendor.

So to go back to my question: does anyone know what the current RELEASED version is? And, given Mazda's inconsistency with the vendor, who is actually doing the map updates?

Nav system on CX9 and CX7 is the same DENSO and

DENSO sucks hard (lick)

Well, got an e-mail back from Navteq.

"Thank you for contacting NAVTEQ. While Mazda uses our map data we neither produce nor distribute the disks for the CX-9. For update information please consult your nearest authorized Mazda dealer or call Mazda direct at . . . "

Still waiting to hear from Mazda.

If the system is DENSO - the maps used may originate from NavTeq but the mapdisc will be different format - so you cannot swap the Navteq disc to Denso one.
I know i tried on My CX7 - if you insert the Navteq mapdisc the system responds with the "not a mapdisk" error message. :confused:

So I guess we all wait to see if/when Denso comes up with a new map?

OK I just bought the new 2008 CX9 GT about 1 week ago and the CD version I have is MAZDA PART No. GP9A 66 DZ0 D. I guess this is the latest one, because on all the forums I see people only have GP9A 66 DZ0 C. Not that it matters a lot since even with the new CD the NAV sucks compared to my TOMTOM. But if any one wants the new CD version I can burn ISO and upload it to their desired location so they can download it.

My CX9 GT is one week old now. Last time I was driving on HWY#410 north bounce. After I passed Bovaird Dr. I noticed that the high way has disappeared on the nav screen. Well, the new portion this HWY is built over two years now and I expect it to be on my 'latest' toy. I'm disappointed again that my 04 TL nav with dvd room dated 2006 has this new portion of the high way.

My new CX-9 came with the Rev D. DVD label reads Mazda Part No. GP9A 66 DZ0 D (K4238). Made and ISO image and burned just fine to a double-layer DVD.

I can post to an FTP site, but not sure Mazda or Denso would appreciate that that. Drop me an email. howardru4u@yahoo.com

At www.POIfriend.com you can download various files for custom POI's. In my case, I have a file of all the Tim Horton's coffee shops across Canada... (can't live without my Tim's). After market Nav's like Tomtom, Magellan, etc have an upload feature for custom POI's using an SD card or cable.

My question is, is there a way to upload the csv file that is now on my PC to the Mazda factory Nav ? I could burn the file to a CD or DVD but there doesn't appear to be an upload function on the factory Nav s/w interface.

Anybody heard of this functionality ?
When I need an extra-large Double/Double, I'd rather not go searching...

The Nav system in the CX-9 is about as lame as a GPS system that you can buy. No such capabilities are available with the built-in Denso system.

RSmith
06-17-2008, 02:20 PM
SeCX-9, I agree re: lameness.... I would have expected this from GM/Chrysler

Too bad, because with the iPod adapter interface it shouldn't be hard to design an interface to the Nav. A guy could download custom POI's onto his iPod, then upload them via the cable interface.

Oh well, I'll have to resort to blood hounds to find my Tim Horton's.

SeCX-9
06-17-2008, 04:23 PM
Here's a great tip I posted on another board to easily find POI that are not in the GPS system.

It's for using the hands-free Bluetooth and Google Search.

Use the CX-9’s built-in address book and add “Google” to your address book. Program in the free directory assistance Google 411 phone number 1-800-466-4411. Now you can do a GOOGLE Search while driving your car, hands-free!

Now you’ll be able to use the voice CX-9’s voice recognition system to dial the Google 411 voice recognition directory assistance and search by business name or category (food, gas station, movie theatre, CVS, Tim Horton's etc).

The system will verbally list the top listings with address, connect you automatically to the business, and even send you an SMS text message to your phone if you say “Text Message”.

This is an easy way to find those Points of Interest that the built-in GPS navigation system doesn't have.

All for free without any directory assistance 411 or operated-assisted wireless carrier fees!

I called Mazda today and they told me that customers can no longer get the updates from Mazda and they have to go through the dealers. They made it sound like it's free when in reality you have to simply order the latest DVD which is 250 bucks. If anyone has an iso let me know :)

They mean Mazda as in Mazda USA.
Mazda obviously wouldn't distribute parts direct on their website, even though we are talking about a software that technically could easily be made available for download distribution. But unfortunately, it's considered a part# for sale through the shop, not a software update. And more unfortunate is the fact that the dealership parts/service people are ignorant of it's existence and any other nav/av feature for our vehicles besides the ipod adapter.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind paying a fee for the latest years maps and software. Garmin's is a reasonable $65. Although our nav's are integrated, they are not user friendly, can't load poi's via usb/sd, and frankly not worth $250 (you could by a nice Garmin unit at that cost) for a software update...Even if your car is still under warranty! imo that should be a service or serviceable part. Not the black hole of a Mazda dealership.

I sent an email to Mazda about a navigation update and got the following response:

Thank you for contacting Mazda!

Updated Navigation Discs can be purchased from a new website that will be launching in the next few months. Mazda is now working with a vendor by the name of DENSO to develop the updated software for the maps in your vehicle.

The web address is mazdanavigation.com

Please keep in mind that navigation maps run approximately one year behind as to allow time for new software development. For the 2008 model year, there should be a 2007 disc available. 2008 year maps should be released sometime in early 2009.

If you have any other questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Assistance Center directly.

Again, thank you for contacting Mazda.

So I found two other ways: 1) Look at the included DVD sleeve; 2) Goto Nav Setup, Calibration, Map Version.

Unfortunately, my brand new CX-9 with 14 miles that I purchased this month actually came with version A. Arggh!!!

Can anyone help me out and provide me with C, D, or E?

So maybe it's not THAT outdated after all. Mine is CX-9 DVD, rev B, and maps on that one are 2006 version. You've got 2007 maps. Not too bad!

I'm sure if you go back to your dealer and complain, they'll give you the correct DVD.

BTW, have you already filled out the questionnaire from Mazda? You know, the one about your buying experience? From what I know, car salespeople are always very eager to get perfect marks on those questionnaires. They always beg you to give them a perfect score. So if they refuse to give you the most recent navi DVD, just mention you'll give them a bad review in the questionnaire...

Good luck! Let us know how it all ends, and what's the latest version of that elusive navigation DVD (if you ever get one). ;)

What's the story on this?

E definitely has map updates compared to C (the only other version I've tried). Local roads in newer subdivisions in my area are way better filled in. It also added Alaska and Hawaii (which I'm pretty sure weren't there in C).

I didn't notice any obvious software changes; not to say there were any - but nothing jumped out at me.

I haven't gone looking at POI details to see what's different (and don't specifically recall issues from C to look at); but if the maps are updated then there are probably some POI updates as well.

FiveG... The most current map update will say on the disc 2008 with 2007 maps. In talking to Mazda just this week there supposed to release a new version by the end of January that we will be able to purchase online. I've noticed several major grocery stores not listed on the current version which I find very strange and like several others I'm not happy with the system greying out features once you start moving preventing you or the passanger from inputing another destination? I am however working on a solution for this and will post once I figure it out. NW (cool)

If anyone wants to eliminate the grey-out (above >5mph),

It involves inserting a switch between OE VSS (vehicle speed sensor) input to NAVI with a DIY Speed Pulse Cheater. (the circuit design, etc are all included). This is only for people who can deal with electronics.

I just bought a 2009 CX-9, and I'm trying to figure out if I got the newest maps, or got screwed.

On the Disc:
GS3M 66 DZ0 A
K4238

On the map verision screen:
V 05.07.11
2007 ver 2

At first look I thought I was 4 revisions behind. Then I noticed mine was "GS3M" and the ones mentioned here are all "GP9A." Is it possible this is Rev. A of a whole new generation, or did I get a completely wrong disc?

I had the same reaction when I first got my 09 and the parts department at the dealership checked and said an updated version was supposed to come out in late January and that they had placed an order for me to receive it ~ I just checked with the dealership and was told that it's not out yet!

The 2009's use a different generation navigation system, you have 2 disks that arent backward compatible with the 07-08, but the 07-08 disc will work to some degree in the 09, don't know if you will get all features though.

I have the 2007 CX-9 Touring, and the navigation doesn't even show my neighborhood. My street has been here for decades. If anyone has the rev e file please let me know at parkers0929@yahoo.com

I still haven't found a gps that doesn't take me in circles before getting me to a destination. So I'm still not ready to have one in the car that costs hundreds just to update with outdated information.

When they can make them work, I will reconsider. What they really need is real time updating, to a common database for all devices. Maybe something like Wikipedia where users can correct and add info. Pull into your garage, the car logs onto your wireless network, and updates it's maps and POIs. Or has a USB interface at least.

Until then I can read a map.

Lol, how would they make their money then? They can't get rid of the $300 update CD's....

I'd also be interested in an updated DVD. We have an 08 CX-9 GT with maps from 06. Dealer and Mazda have been unwilling/unable to help. It's not a bad car for the money but service stinks. Grrrrr!

basically that's what TomTom does, minus the wireless updates but also minus the hassle of a wiki. I plug mine (now my wife's) in via USB and it updates with corrections ppl hav posted via the device. I also hav the ability to set map corrections on my device on-the-spot, and when I update mine I have the ability to post my corrections to the community.

intelligent model, but I do think the TomTom is a flawed device, and it once told me to go left when it meant go right amongst other confused moments.

on a separate note, a gal-I-work-with's husband works for NAVTEQ, but I don't know if I can get a hook-up...

I got the disc after sent him $25, but it is D Version, Built 1220 Ver 2007.1
He doesn't have original disc either to prove he owns E version.

I've been waiting for a DVD update for my 09 CX-9 for six months now (it still has an 07 version DVD in it) and the dealer finally told me to file a complaint with Mazda Customer Service.

I called them and the agent apologized up and down and swore that it's a supplier issue and that Mazda is well aware of the problem. He also said he'd put me on the "complaint" list and that people on the list will receive all new information as soon as it's available!

I'd encourage as many of you as possible to call Mazda to complain (800-222-5500) since it's not right to have an out-dated map when you have paid for the option in good faith!

I have a 2009 CX9 which uses 2 disks, course the NAV only takes one at a time, so if travelling from Torinto to Florida you have to swap disks enroute (great fun). Where did you get the disk(s) from the dealer or third party?

I've sent you a PM as well along with an offer to reimburse you for whatever cost you have. This past weekend, we realized just how out-of-date our current DVD is: there were several new shopping centers that displayed as empty fields on our Nav system. In one case, I had to call the store with my cell phone and ask for directions! Kinda ridiculous!
