There are two navigation DVDs produced for this model.

The white DVD labeled "United States" is for the US market and contains maps for the contiguous 48
US states, Hawaii, and some southern portions of Canada.

Clients wanting additional northern coverage in Canada, can purchase a "Canada," DVD by
contacting the DVD fulfillment desk.

The gray DVD labeled "Canada," is for the Canada market, and contains maps for all of Canada, plus
some of the northern US states. If clients with this DVD require full US coverage (including states
like Florida and Texas), they may purchase a "United States" DVD by contacting the DVD fulfillment

system and can overheat or quit functioning, particularly in a hot
vehicle. They are not recommended.

Before performing the Import function, ensure that the client's
original DVD is loaded into the new core and working properly.

Are there any error messages
to tell me what is wrong?

NOTE:

The last two letters of the Program "Flash" or DVD fields indicate which
DVD is installed in the unit. The letters "KA" imply that a "United
States" DVD is installed. If the letters are KC, then a "Canada" DVD is
installed. (See coverage discussion below.)
