No, there are two different versions. There's a thread on here where those of us that bought the 2015 when they came out took pictures of the map database info.

Who said anything about knowing the current roadway. DFW is a big area and if I am headed to somewhere I have not been, it would be nice to have more up to date content and not have a gps that wants you to exit at the next exit because it thinks you are on the wrong side of the road, or have you take a different road becasue it thinks you are on the service road.
Just take your Lexus & don't worry 'bout it!

Never said it would be fun, just the way to make sure you find where you're going. After all, you did spend the jack to update the cage maps.

Why the hell didn't HD use Garmin in their nav systems? At least their maps are updated quarterly and for far less money! Garmin pretty much sets the standard for navigation systems.

That would be the standard for portable navigation systems. Although there may be some, I'm not aware of any OEM vehicle manufacturer that uses Garmin for a built in, integrated system.
