Ok, I went from a Eclipse AVN726E their top of the line model to this Pioneer which is a nice touch screen but, the maps SUCK.. I never had a problem with the Eclipse maps at all they found everything I wanted to find.. Now, this Pioneer cant find half of the address the Eclipse found. WHY?? anyone know who makes the maps for Pioneer? Well, so now I look up the address on my iphone and just put it as a POI but, when I see the map on the iphone the roads on google maps are called different names then the ones on the Z so how old are these maps? Of course that is assuming that Google maps is updated. This is ridiculous for a product to cost over 1000 and have crappy maps when that is their main job is navigation.. When are we getting a map update or can I buy one some where???

As mention many times now on this forum, there will be a map upgrade this summer. However there is no guarantee you will see any change for your area. Your claim also sounds a little off. Make sure you are searching in your area and not some other state or city. It is easy on this unit to be searching in a different area without actually realizing it.

Who ever you are I live in Watertown NY I travel all over the USA being in the military, I was looking for address in different States close by like PA since I am headed there this weekend. I just find it disappointing that the maps are this bad. Like I states in my first post when you look up the address on Google maps and then put it on the Z the roads do not match up but the coordinates do. So the maps on the Z are pretty old...

Here do me a favor see if you can find Anneville in PA. in my Z it says city not found see if you can find it in yours. I hope I was doing something wrong.. Let me KNOW

Probably brings up a good point - does anyone know the real version of maps being used? There are many gps underground (Google) spots that can be used to confirm whats really in a given map...

You need to set the STATE to the correct state. It is easy to forget this, it's not obvious.

Make sure the STATE is set to PA, then try.

I was in the right state it is on the screen when you look for the city it says Pennsylvania

Actually... before you get all mad and spout off, might want to fact-check.

I just searched for "Anneville, PA" on Google maps. Doesn't exist. There IS an Anneville, DE though.

And yeah, the Pioneer unit doesnt make it easy to deal with situations like these unfortunately... unless you have the right state, it just won't work. *sigh*

yes it does.. you need to recheck..

There is an Annville, PA but no Anneville. If you misspell it with the unit it wont work.

Hey you know what they missspelled it on their address I just looked on the map and the map says ANNVILLE and the Address says ANNEVILLE.

Just so you know that is the address I recived from a website and they spelled it AnnEville no Annville.. And I did a google check and it is spelled Annville..

Why did you get rid of the Z and get the 910???

Yea I saw that. Just put it in the unit as Annville and you should be good. One other thing you will eventually run into. Any search that requires a - or ' as part of the title will need to be substituted by a SPACE in the title or the unit will fail to find it. FYI this unit actually works very well as far as the navi is concerned. Unfortunately, its layout of how things work will contribute to user error. Its not really the users fault that the unit is laid out in a way that causes this. So just be aware if it doesn't find something, its probably because it needs other info that you may have to dig a little for to get it to understand. For instance, You can be in CA and if you search for something near you with VR, the unit is still going to search in PA sense that was the last state you searched in.

You should call them and let them know of the error...

VBLUE42,

so which head unit u have now? the Z110 or X910?

thanks guys lets hope the new update will be much more user friendly... I will have to say the eclipse avn726e GPS interface was awesome but the deck was lacking in options.

There will be no navi changes in the upgrade other then newer maps. Which likely will have a 2009 date.

DNX9960.

Thats funny and you are a mod for a Pioneer site... Is it that much better than the z?

I thought we were going to get new software update aswell with the Z120BT software right???

Yes but the navi software stays the same as what is currently on the 110.

Im also a mod at the Kenwood forum. Both units are nearly equal but the navi in the 9960 is better.

I had the same thoughts.... and after checking out his videos of the KenWood, I'm actually very much impressed... although, I'm still floored by Pioneer's stuff....

To me..the KenWood is too cluttered/confusing.... although it's Navi is a tad bit better.... BUT and IMO, the KenWood sucks everywhere else... at least for my needs.... which involve far less of Navi, and more media....

Yes but the navi software stays the same as what is currently on the 110.

Supposedly that involves an update to the maps....

Not trying to stoke flames... but some might get confused with the terminology....

Navi=the same

Possibly upgraded maps...

Correct?
