    I have a 2005 Prius with original Nav software which is grossly out of date regarding roads I drive on in the Mid Atlantic area. Am I reading here that I can load a v10 disc and get more current road info? I bought but never installed the program-while-in-motion override feature so its a non issue for me.

    Just ensure that the disc is for your Gen 4 navigation. They have the same data but there's a different version for the current Gen 6 and yours. (Just tell them the year of your Prius and they should have the right part number).

    You can download Gen4 10.1 rev for 2004 or 2005 Prius Nav system here....

    It's an ISO file which, with a Mac, you can burn with Disk Utility (or Toast etc.).
    Use Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL discs to burn.
    Then, insert in your Nav system under the drivers seat.
    From behind the drivers seat open cover by pressing down on both latches. Start car, push eject button in and to the left.
    Remove old DVD. Insert yours then push button in and to the right.
    Replace cover.
    Start cruising!
    It's still a crappy Nav system. I love my Tom Tom with Traffic but this will do in a pinch.
