Many Cadillac vehicles are equipped with a navigation system. Because points of interests, such as restaurants, hotels and gas stations change, the navigation system requires an update from time to time. In addition, roads may change due to closings and new construction. There is no specific navigation update interval; instead, GM periodically issues update discs. When these discs become available, you can purchase them and update your navigation system.
Step 1
Order the latest Cadillac navigation system update disc. You can purchase the disc from a Cadillac dealer or from GM's online navigation update website. Find a link in Resources.
Step 2
Make sure you have time to update the navigation system. The update takes about three hours. The engine must be running, so make sure you have enough fuel and the vehicle is in a well ventilated area.

Warning
- Don't turn the engine off or touch the buttons during the update. When the process is complete, the disc will eject.

The process of buying official map updates for a Cadillac Escalade GPS navigation system update can be expensive, which is why so many drivers look to download map updates instead of paying. If you would like to get new updates then please click the link below:
If you clicked the link above that will take you through to the best place online to get new maps. Please be aware that we do not condone illegal activity and do not recommend downloading Cadillac Escalade maps as you could be putting your GPS at risk, as well as your computer which we will go into more detail on below.
People have been attempting to download maps for years, with a 2007 Cadillac Escalade navigation DVD download being the most popular search term in online forums and in Google.
Download GPS Map Updates for Cadillac Escalade Models
Not many people have successfully copied and burned a Cadillac Escalade navigation DVD download from a torrent website. You might try to use a DVD Decrypter in order to create and burn an ISO image – but this will probably be the point that you fail.
This is because the manufacturers of the discs, CDs, and DVDs are GM and HERE, and both these companies use safe disc codes. Not only that, but every single GPS map update disc will have its own unique serial number for the customer who purchased it originally, and as such can only really be used once and once only.
Be Aware of the Risks Involved in Downloading Map CDs
If you do decide to download a Cadillac Escalade navigation DVD from a torrent website that has been hacked, you are taking a massive risk with your GPS system.
We can understand how tempting it could be to try and use hacked software but you do need to be aware of certain things; you could be putting your GPS device at risk, as well as your actual PC or Mac.
Torrent download websites are notorious for setting up Trojan Horse programs on their downloadable software. So whilst you might think it’s great that you are getting free map updates for your Cadillac, there is a massive downside.
If the download website has added malware or viruses to the downloadable file, then those could be installed on your computer and end up costing you a lot more than it would have done simply buying official map updates.
Not only that, but once you come to installing the DVD as a Cadillac Escalade navigation system update, you won’t have a serial number, and could even damage the in-dash navigation system – and as you will already know, a visit to a Cadillac dealership for repairs is never cheap!
2007 Cadillac Escalade Navigation Disc Download Warning
Recently GPS Bites were contacted by a 2007 Cadillac Escalade owner who had downloaded a hacked torrent version of the latest map update disc, CD, and DVD.
He asked us if we could help, as he had inadvertently installed Malware on his PC, plus his computer had a ton of infected files installed at the same time.
Unfortunately, we could not help, other than to warn him not to perform a Cadillac Escalade navigation disc DVD download in the future.
At GPS Bites we always recommend installing official GPS map updates, so please, if you do decide to hack the CD or disc, please be aware of the risks that you are taking.
