Hello group, I just purchased a 2015 Acadia Denali. I checked the NAV software and it is due for an update. I see that there is a V.2017 update available. I plan on getting the update, but figured I'd touch base here first.

Is there a less expensive way to get the update? Or is it locked down by GMC so that it is truly a requirement to go to the dealer. I'll spend the coin if I have too, but to be perfectly honest I hate to go to a dealer for anything.

Are these updates annual?

There is a major reconstruction project on the local interstate system that I am sure will take some time for the NAV mapping system to reflect. I figure that is true for the entire country, so wonder if an annual NAV update is going to be necessary, or maybe semi annual?
 
The 2017 map update will be accurate up to 2016 (NavTeq maps are updated annually). If that revision to the freeway is completed in 2018, it will be 2019 at the earliest before it appears on the NAV maps.
