Can members list roads, junctions etc which they know have been updated on the latest 2011-2012 maps?

I know of one road that isnt, the A421 from the M1 to Bedford opened December 2010 yet is not on the 2011/2012 update that came out July 2011

Changed mine from 07/08 to 11/12 & have found a load of road changes now included.

Used the Volvo maps, discs work perfectly

I Freely admit to being a gizmo numpty. Is there any point in updating Satnav discs, how do you do it and is it wise to use Volvo rather than LR discs. Does this affect the operation of the satnav at all? We bought our 2008 HSE from a main dealer in January with the satnav presumably that the car came with. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

rjc.....Simply buy the disc set, eject the old disc from under the drivers seat (Accessed from the rear of the seat) and put in the new GBR disc. Can't recall what the display will actually say but about 10 - 20 mins later (The time seems to vary from car to car or age from last update), you have the latest discs loaded

Worth noting that other forum members have found the 'update' process to take, in some cases, a considerable amount of time.

So it would appear you need to allow it to do the update - during a nice "long" drive.

And give the disc a good clean with CD cleaner stuff first...  2002 Honda VFR800

2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

My upgrade came with three discs, i assume i only need the GBR one or do you have to install all three and if so in what order ?

You only need one disc at a time depending on which country you are in. If you look at the discs the countries they cover are printed on the label.

I am off to France in July and will be hoping that the A88 going south from Caen is now on sat nav. The road was on the Tom Tom map but the navigation system didn't like it. It kept telling me to turn right when we went under a road bridge  John
07 HSE Narvick Black
Land Rover Series One
Triumph Rocket 111 (sadly gone!)

Well, the new motorway from Uppsala to Gävle is now on the map  It's never too late to learn something new...

My sat nav is awful running on 07 maps, I use it to get me going in the right direction then just follow the road signs. I need to update is really, but been waiting to see which maps are the best. Volvo as mentioned above seems to be a hit at the moment.

Loaded the latest 2011/12 discs and the first thing I noticed was the cancel Guidance button is now on the first screen, a great improvement

Just updated my 2006/7 Europe software to 2011, which took only ten minutes. Noticed a new panel on the nav screen which shows much more detail of junctions from when about 1/4 mile away and counts you down as you approach. I like this touch as I prefer to use a broad scale to be able to see more of the surrounding area. Still turn off the voice though!

Loaded also the 2011-2012 disc, take about 15'
all OK! 2008 LR FL2 TD4 HSE Santorini Black

Has anybody noticed the SatNav welcome graphics when entering another country
When driving from Norway into Sweden, the Swedish flag appears on the screen and you get an audio message which says Welcome to Sweden

Unfortunatly driving the other way you get off! from the speakers!  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
