Has anyone purchased a Nissan vehicle with navigation very recently? If so, could you do me a favor and look up some addresses for me?

Odd question, but here's why. I'm moving from NY to NC in a few weeks. I've been getting upgrade notices for the last few years, but never did it because I haven't needed to. Now, the area I am moving to, Apex, NC, is being developed like crazy, and there are new roads all over the place. I called the Nav group, which is actually a company named HERE. They won't tell me anything about the maps I would get, and won't guarantee anything about the maps. They said to go to their website to see their maps, but won't guarantee the maps that I get will be as up to date as the map online. Finally, I got them to say that if I go into a Nissan dealership and check out the maps in a new car, it is the closest that I can get to understand what i MIGHT get. I don't really have time to go to a dealer and try to explain this enough to get them to let me in a new car with Nav.

Addresses/Street names:
Lumber River Trail, Apex, NC - future home address
Valley Rush Drive, Apex, NC - temp apartment
Maroni Drive, Apex, NC - friends road
1908 Lazio Lane, Apex, NC - developers model

If you have the time, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!!
 
You could also try MapQuest and just print out the results if they are better than your GPS.

MapQuest could find the address you posted:

We usually print out the MapQuest Turn-By-Turn directions when we go somewhere strange, only because the GPS units seem to take us in different directions sometimes and we just want a second opinion. It's like the old days when we got the AAA Trip-Tik.
 
Thanks for the info. I use Google maps, which is usually very good. Here, I am trying to see whether or not the built-in GPS in my car will provide me with the latest street info. The decision is really, use my phone instead of my built-in GPS, or buy the latest maps. I'd rather use the built-in, but not sure if the maps are recent.
 
I'm not familiar with the Nissan, but on my new Mazda, all I do is take the SD card out of the car and plug it into my PC while I run a downloaded program called Mazda Toolbox. It backs up the data on the card and tells me if there are any map or software upgrades. There should be a similar process for the Nissan.
