Just upgraded my COMAND disk from 6.3 to 10.
What a waste of money.

Doing my normal work run and other various 'local' journeys its almost indistinquishable between the two versions. I could have saved myself the cost and bother.
Unless you are going abroad and/or need to use the latest mapping in the UK then I suggest you dont bother with version 10.
I, in my infinate wisdom perhaps expected a tad too much from MB.
My eldest daughter with her partner came round to see me last Saturday. He has just bought a spanking new Audi S4 with built in satnav.
The Audi satnav has got a really nice display. Much more modern than mine and in many ways easier to read. The graphics are miles better. I was hoping for something perhaps similar. Something different in appearance to what I had with version 6.3. But no. The only visual difference I can see is that the colours are ever so slighty different and the areas marked as wooded now have lots of little trees marked on them.
Big deal.
But you would be pushed to tell.
So anybody using a version 6.1 or later - save your monies dont bother to upgrade.

Has anyone else made the same observations or is it just me?

So who wants to buy a V6.3 disk?

Going cheap.
