    Jeep Grand Cherokee 2010: GPS out of date

    Jeep Jeep Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep Grand Cherokee Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee 2010

    After buying a new Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited last May, I traveled to the Gold Coast and was amazed that the navigation system was hopelessly out of date; roads that have been opened for at least two years were not recognised. When I contacted the dealer I was informed that it would cost $45 to install the new mapping, but they were unsuccessful when I took it in for it to be updated. Now I have been led to believe that new mapping is available for $350. Do you know of this problem?

    While I'm not aware of a specific problem with the navigation system in the Jeep it is a common problem with factory-fitted GPS systems on imported vehicles. The time from when the car is built, and the GPS system installed, to when it's delivered to the customer can be quite lengthy and the maps often appear to be outdated even before the car is handed over. It's a problem that many new car buyers will face with GPS systems becoming more popular, so I would suggest anyone taking delivery of a new car have the dealer check for any map updates that are available and have them do it before delivery when you could negotiate having it done at their cost and not yours.
