Updating navigation maps in 08 Explorer
I have an 08 Explorer,Eddie Bauer, 4.0L, with the factory navigation and Sync system.
It keeps coming up with in-complete map data when trying to set certain routes, so I've been looking into getting the maps updated.
I found what I thought was a solution on Ebay. But all of the updates appear to be DVD, and our explorer only plays CD's.
Would I still be able to update the maps using the DVD? Or should I start shopping for a portable gps?

(SOLVED)
Well I went ahead and bought the DVD, and it does work fine. But I had to navigate through the settings to find out how to make it work.
I ended up going to Menu>System Info>Navigation maps. Once you are there it will ask you to open access for the Navigation DVD. Then the front of the screen will actually fold down to reveal a second disc slot and the old dvd will eject. Insert the new disc and then it will begin installation.
