Upgrading the Nav only includes the maps. Your hardware will remain the same. You will not get the graphics of the 2010 nav systems. It will look the same.

In my experience the maps are woefully outdated and don't get updated very much each year. My subdivision has been here for about 11 years and while it's shown on the maps, my entire subdivision still has no street names. The updates don't do much. I'd wait a few more years before updating.

I just asked the dealer about that and he replied that the '09 Nav has the latest available map info (at least for Canada). He also suggested to wait for the '11/'12 version
