Because the information is through the 2nd quarter of 2016 or June 30, 2016. That is the unfortunate thing about Navieextras. They supply the map database of a number of the car manufactures too and they charge just as much. Now if only we could get Garmin map updates like you can for the stand alone navigation devices it would be great.

Yes I did update it last year. My software said MY2017. The database was through the 3rd quarter of 2015 (without me looking at it). The new one is MY2018. When I log onto my account with Navieextras, it will tell me if I already downloaded the version. It does not say that for the one that just showed up and is designated MY2018. If it doesn't contain new information from the MY2017, then they are committing a fraud. I don't think you will find that to be the case. We would wind up getting free updates for a few years if that kind of information was brought to a court.

I bought the newest update in October 2016. Up until June of this year, when I tested the "2017" update by "adding to the cart"....it would say "Warning...you have already purchased this update." I just tried a second ago....for the 2018 update. It allowed me to add to the cart. So maybe this is an ACTUAL update to the last update which was 2016Q2.

I can also concur that last year after the 2015 map upgrade it displayed MY2017.
Maybe they are showing the actual date of the maps for legal reasons.

Tom I can confirm that after purchasing the MY2018 maps on Naviextras and installing them that the bike now displays HMNA2016Q2.

I just installed the update in my bike. I have not checked to see whether it says MY-2018 or something else. I am going to guess that they decided to be less misleading by letting customers know that the update includes info through June 2016. However that should be clear on their website before you buy. I think the update last year only included info through the second or third quarter of 2015.
Thanks,
Tom

I don't have an "in-dash" style GPS system in any of my cages. But from what I've read, most of the automakers units are just like the Boom we have. Usually 1-2 year old maps. Sounds like they do not update those systems as much as stand alone Garmin style units do. Hell, Google does about every month.....Free.
