Default Anyone updating their NAV maps?

Looks like Navteq has new maps available 2009-2010 for our A4s. Anybody planning on buying? $200 seems steep.

Too steep for me, considering how limited the POI are in the factory nav anyway. I may consider it in a few years from now.

Not worth it. What it needs are new features not updated maps. I bought a Garmin Nuvi instead.

I'll probably wait for the next update, unless I start noticing too many discrepancies.

200 smackers is lot to pay if all it gets you is a few road changes/updates.

I received the mail notice of the updated maps less than 60 days after taking possession of my $47k A4. Think I was very upset to know that my nav was so soon out of date? It seems obvious to me that Audi should provide updates free of charge for the first year of ownership. Perhaps I will register a complaint and see where it gets me.

I just got a new A4 last weekend, so I am in the same boat as you. Let me know where your "complaint" gets you!
