Updated DVD for GPS - 2008 Prius

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I was here. If I have posted this in the wrong section, please admonish me gently. I did not cross-post this, since I've gotten admonished (sometimes not so gently) on other online forums where I wasn't 100% sure where a question should go and thus cross-posted it.

It took me almost 2 1/2 years to finally use the GPS on my 2008 Package 5 Prius. I lived so many years without it that even though I bought a more expensive Prius to get it, I still didn't try it out in the whole period from Feb. 23, 2008, through August 1, 2010! But now I am using it.

It's my understanding that I can get a DVD to update the software. Is this true? Some of the stores and restaurants listed are long gone.

Is it true that this costs $300 or maybe even more?

Is it true that the only way to buy it is to bid on it in an auction web site? I don't do auctions, and in fact, I mainly do brick-and-mortar stores.

Please spell out any non-intuitive abbreviations in any responses. I know what DVD and GPS are, but I may not know what you might think is a common abbreviation.

Thanks in advance (a phrase I always spell out).

 

Bumping this up to see if anyone has any idea where I should post this instead of or in addition to this topic.

If bumping is frowned upon here, please admonish me gently. Thanks.
