Customers who wish to obtain a replacement DVD, in the event the original item becomes lost or damaged, may do so through your parts department. When ordering, please specify P/N 25737698.

Mapping Information

The mapping information contained on the discs covers all interstate freeways/Trans-Canada highways and most of the state/provincial highways, country roads, major and general streets. The reality being that the network of roads are always in a constant state of change, the level of mapping detail can vary from region to region, state to state or province to province and even from disc to disc and year to year. As such, it should be expected by all users that the level of updated mapping information will increase over time. Mapping information has been separated into two distinct categories. These categories are known as DETAILED and NON-DETAILED coverage areas. The definition of each category is described below:

Detailed Area

This category contains the highest level of map detail available (literally "door to door") while a customer is driving from their original location to their destination site. A detailed area will include all of the highways, service and residential roads in the map database. Road attributes including street names, address directionality (for example, one way streets), turn restrictions, etc., are contained in this category. Also included in this category is a list of Points of Interest (P01) such as restaurants, airports, banks, city centers, hospitals, parking garages, police stations, gas stations, schools, historical monuments, tourist attractions, etc.

Non-Detailed Area

This is a basic category containing most of the major road network only. The category does not provide "door to door" guidance. Residential roads, service roads, Points of Interest (except city centers) and street addresses are not included in this category. This category is equal to the amount of road information that can generally be observed in AAA state or provincial maps.

To assist Cadillac customers in determining the level of mapping coverage they will be able to obtain while traveling, the Navigation System Map Disc Coverage booklet lists (by county/city), those areas categorized as Detailed areas. Those counties/cities not listed are categorized as Non-Detailed areas.

As previously mentioned, since the network of roads is constantly changing, it is strongly recommended that customers access Cadillac's website (www.cadillac.com). The website will provide the most information regarding mapping availability specific to the USA market.

Should a customer wish to upgrade their CDs/DVD to a more recent version, they may do so at their expense. It should not be submitted as a warranty claim. This is the same philosophy that is encountered with software for personal computers in the home.
