Default Navigation Map Quality

Is it just me or do the navigation maps on a 2011 JKUR look like something drawn by my 2 year old?

Does anyone know if a map update will improve this?

Funny I've been saying the same thing since I got the jeep. It looks like scribble.

730 or 430? My guess from the description is the 430 with the Garmin - it does get better with the system update 50.x.x released a couple of months ago.. Most don't like the new black and green interface, but I don't mind it - matches the instrument cluster now...

No price tag, the image for the 50.x.x is posted on the interwebs - there are a couple of threads that can help.. there is a user out there that goes by the handle SOX that routinely posts the update files..(see below)

MyDrive - Ihr Schweizer Online-Speicher

Login:
Username: mygig@soxag
Password: gasolio

you should be able to navigate his directories (he labels them pretty good) and find exactly what you need, including docs.

As for the backgrounds - these are what i found right away, but I know I have more that I made..

Final size can be either 480x318 or 240x158 - I prefer the larger, they seem crisper on the MyGig display..

I was asking if the actual map update was worth it.
