I am planning a drive from SC to San Antonio, TX. I am using the 2013 2 DVD disk set. Entering the final destination, gives me an error, since it cannot be found on disk (1) East. Inserting disk (2) West prompts me to go through the install process that I had to do with disk (1) already. Shut down the car, wait 5 minutes, put key back in and continue with the Nav.
It appears that I cannot go straight from SC to TX without a waypoint, requiring re-initializing the following disk. Border states along the Mississippi are on both disks. Going West I would initialize Region West somewhere in LA and returning I would have to re-initialize Region East again somewhere in LA. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

Thats funny, just the other week I was looking at mine and thought the same thing how I would go to SA and at what point would I swap over to disc 2. I forgot about the initialization. I wonder if you initialize it now and then insert it when its needed if the system will still need this time, surely not!

Wow, that does suck. Imagine if you lived near that region and were back and forth in this area and then having to switch the discs over. I'm not even sure where mine west coast disc is since I've never used it.

I am planning to use one of my iPhone's navigation apps to get a total route to have a safe reference when and if the in-car nav should "misbehave", and that should give me time to make the disk switch when convenient. I like to rely on the built-in system, but still sometimes double-check with my phone's results. Any other ideas out there?

Makes me happy I never "upgraded" to the newer east-west disks though, sticking with my 2009 set - kind of a pain.

+1. There are only a couple of truly viable choices anyway on that part of the route. Just pick a town close to where your phone is telling you to go that's covered on the first disk, and flip the disks when you cross over into the covered territory, routing to your final destination.
