Nav DVD update?

I got my 2007 SLK in October 2006.

The nav maps are very old, and don't even new roads and highways that have been built in the DC area years ago.

There are new ramps and highways and overpasses being put in all the time, so the GPS goes completely nuts in those areas.

Is there an updated DVD that has maps from at least 2006?

Thanks,

What version is your DVD Nav map software disc, 2005.3 or 2006.1? I believe the 2006.1 is the latest map software available for the SLK.

I just dropped it off at the dealership today to get the A/C fixed (my A/C was broken on a 2007 model!)

... but I should be able to find out when I get it back, hopefully Tue or Wed.

I did ask the service rep after dropping off the car, and he said that there haven't been further updates for the 2007 model, but I just wanted to be double sure.
