    So, maybe I'm missing something here.. just a little run down

    Purchased my 2008, on December 28th 2007, warranty is over December of this year.

    Anyways, I just received, NAVTEQ 2010 maps, and I didn't even order these or anything. It's addressed to me, so I know it wasn't a mistake in delivery.

    It came directly from NAVTEQ, any ideas why I got this? Not that I'm complaining or anything, I just had no idea.

    Also, I received a Mopar Owner Care Premium service plan coupon book earlier this year, with two coupons for free oil changes, I have no idea why I got those either..

    WTF is this, some sort of secret santa kinda ish?

    Read the fine print $199 to get the activation code to unlock it, nothing is free.

    I got the same DVD yesterday.

    Yeah, $200 to update their maps and it seems like the Nav gets even dopier with each update. Like, yeah, let's aim for the most traffic-riddled route possible! Alternate routes? Forget it!

    I think if you get the Sirius traffic you will find the Nav constantly will redirect you for traffic concerns..Mine does, even when driving in that hell hole of metro New York. On one trip this spring it redirected me for traffic 8 times in less than an hour.

    yup.

    I prefer using my Garmin though. I get free updates and I have Traffic Alert as well.

    Garmin has never steered (pun intended) me wrong. Nav has.
