How much does a disc cost?

Retail, between $100 to $150. It's cheaper to purchase them online for $100, as opposed to $150 if you get it directly from a dealership.

Where do I purchase a new updated disc online for my Honda Navigation System maps?

Google "Honda navigation" and click on the first link. Then choose your model and it will show you the most recent DVD update. If you buy it online you’ll save $50. They’re selling it for $99 vs. $149 at the dealership.
