Navigation issue revisited

Ok, so it looks like the 2006 Nav DVD that i have is outdated for middle georgia. Supposively it was updated in v8.0 released november 2008. However, it says there are updates to Macon, GA and i am unsure if it will have updates for Warner Robins (where i live). I am not really wanting to spend $300 on a DVD only to find out it doesnt cover my city. Is there a way to see what was added on v.8.0? or test out the DVD?

The dealer will not give you the DVD to test it out..... your best bet is finding someone who is local to you and borrowing it from them.

2004 E55 AMG; 1995 Porsche 993 Cab.
The other option is to visit the dealers used lot and find an 08 model that has nav... then try that out!

Damn so i get the DVD and now its stuck at "Navigation Software is loaded" with the overall progress and partial progress bars.. yet nothings happening.. waited 15 minutes and nothing happened.. so i pulled the DVD out and put the 2006 disc back in and nothings changed.. turned off COMAND, the car etc.. nothing.. cars stuck on that screen.. what gives?!

EDIT: it FINALLY started loading.. i finally have street names.. thanks..
