According to the latest studies, most people own a vehicle an average of 6 years. Those looking to keep up with the latest technology trade even more frequently. So, 5 years of updates is anywhere from sufficient to more than enough for most people.

The 'lifetime' of a standalone navigation system ends when: The device is stolen, the device is lost, the device is replaced with a newer/better/faster/bigger model, or the device fails. It does not have a lifetime warranty - it simply has lifetime updates in the rare event you still have it and it still functions and hasn't been rendered obsolete after a few years.

I am hoping the 2017 crv has the latest Updated map.It will be loaded with the latest version as of the date the maps were packaged and loaded into the vehicle at the factory (maps updates are not part of the pre-delivery inspection).

No big deal if you don't have the latest version - as stated, updates are free for 5 years and are very simple to install. Keep in mind by the time map updates are released, they're already anywhere from months to years old (depends on the area).

It takes time to gather map data from a variety of sources, put it all together, distribute the updates, and install them. Typically, you can bank on the latest map data being at least a year old. The '2017' update (which was released late in 2016) obviously doesn't include anything past that release date. EX to an EX-L-Navi is a $3950 jump. Redneck Rampage Collection Isotonic. Not worth it when a $2xx Garmin will do a better job and have lifetime updates to boot.EX to EX-L NAVI difference is $3,500 which adds a LOT more than just navigation (power tailgate, leather, auto dimming mirror, HomeLink, driver's seat memory, power passenger seat, additional speakers, and HD radio). EX-L to EX-L NAVI difference is $1,000, so that's a more fair comparison to your $2xx Garmin.

Advantages of the $1,000 factory system over a $2xx Garmin: 1. No unsightly power cords to plug in, suction cups, Velcro, or adhesive. Dead reckoning (vehicle sensors are used to update the vehicle's position on the map when you lose GPS signal).

First, a few words of caution. This unit ships from Hong Kong and takes a while to arrive if you are ordering in the US. Make sure the unit will work in your car - I have a 2007 Honda CRV and it fits even though the description says 2008 is the first year supported. This unit is designed specifically for the Honda CRV and makes nice use of the dashboard space taken up by the original factory unit. It is almost impossible to find reviews of this unit online and that may be for a good reason.

The unit I received came with no instructions except a wiring diagram on the top of the unit. It is actually a different unit than the one in the picture, with slightly different specs and front panel button layout.
