Hi folks. I'm going up Monday to make the final go/no-go on a 2014 1500 QC. The unit has NAV and I told the salesperson the truck HAS TO have the most up to date maps available as I'm not interested in ponying up $150 for the current maps. I have two questions I was hoping you could help with. Thanks in advance.
1) This is a certified vehicle and the salesperson told me the map updates are part of the certification process and would have been brought current during the certification process. Can anyone confirm this? I looked through the list of what's inspected during the certification process and saw nothing as it relates to the NAV maps. Also, It's my understanding two updates can happen. A NAV "software" update and a "map" update. As a fairly well informed Garmin GPS user I know this is two different procedures. Especially if you don't have the lifetime maps. Software updates are usually free whereas "map" updates are not.
2) What is the most current mapset/version of maps for a 2014 RAM 1500? I want to be able to check it on Monday before taking delivery. If I decide to sign the papers.
