Saw that post Rich. Not sure how that site can sell the original LR disks so cheap.

Me neither, I think they are around £200 from the dealer? Glad yours works, don't use mine much but it is just one of those cheap and easy upgrades that make it worth it when you do use them. |

I believe they sell them cheap because they are sold as "back up disc's" (copies from original)

Wear on a laser? How? There's no physical contact!

....and if 'back up' copies then the sale of them is somewhat questionable? |

I don't know which site was linked to on the other thread since it seems to have been removed.

From looking at a few disks since then it seems that the published date is pretty much always a year after the map data creation date on both Volvo and LR disks (and probably others). The same is true of the satnav software on my phone.

Still can't work out how a disc could wear out a laser? Surely the laser is a beam of light that shines at a constant rate, light is reflected from disc and read, if disc is a crock the reflected light won't be able to be read end of story. Where in the process would anything be subject to wear? This is a genuine question of anyone who actually knows how these things work as am puzzled! |

Joe's explanation a couple of posts further up seems reasonable.
