Once you've saved them, you just use a program capable of making a CD from an ISO image and point it to the location of one of the two files (East or West) to record the disc.
Successfully downloaded (East) and burn to disc. Put the disc in the Nav and appears all is well. Will try following the instruction booklet when I have some free time. At first glance, seems like a pain, but still curious how it actually works. At least I'll be able to supply the discs if and when selling it. Thanks!

I figured since the factory NAV discs would never be updated it was a case of increasingly obsolete tech. I now just use the built in NAV in my Droid Bionic, which uses Google Maps and even includes a Google Street View image when I reach my destination. Full text to speech, choice of either a map view or satellite view, and if I'm in NAV mode and I get a text while driving, the phone will read the text message to me. I never thought I'd say this about a phone, but I
love this phone!!

At some point.... will probably look to replace the headunit. Can understand your reason for painting the bezel.
