Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

The issue is not with HERE (the software producer) but with JLR who will not sanction or pay for further upgrades to the Freelander mapping software.

Some sellers have discovered that the DVD software for JLR vehicles is the same as that used by Subaru, who are supporting the owners of older Subaru vehicles, and are able to create updates, but officially JLR have abandoned all their older vehicles which means all Freelanders and all early Evokes and Disco Sports. MY13 HSE Lux Santorini Black Gone
MY11 HSE Santorini Black Gone
MY08 SE Blue, Gone
Alfa Romeo GT Gone
Alfa Romeo 156 Space wagon Gone
Volvo V40 Gone
Volvo 480ES Gone
VW Sirocco GTX Gone

Exactly correct, the DVD updated version I bought from Satnavshop are indeed up to date (as much as any mapping info is!) it has roads on it around our way which are only two years old, so yes it’s a “good‘un”........ Regards

How? it doesn't drive the car just gives information.

Ah, so you think bad information is not a risk? Awww, that's cute.

Thanks for calling me cute, really nice of you and very true

Maybe in america sat navs have guns fitted so the driver has to do what it says or get shot  Common sense isn't very common.

I have a better idea for you. Grow a brain.

Got a reply from HERE about this. Looks like they *are* paying attention, unlike some of the sods who hang out around here. Mission accomplished. You chaps are welcome to stay in the room and argue about "Americar" in the UK. Turn the lights off before you leave.  2008 US LR2 SE, 6-cyl gas

Kae,
I have the exact same issue as you and am currently stumped....

See the latter part of https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic16509.html

If you manage to solve it please can you update on here please!

Thanks Farmer Chalk, it seems 'We are not Alone! If I find a solution, I will let you know for sure. Interestingly yesterday I set the sat nav to go to a specific address in Manchester (I have to go tomorrow from Mid Wales) and it found it, gave me the quick route and told me how many miles and how long etc. I thought goodoh, turned the ignition off, back on again - still in there, thought mmmm this may work. Got in my car this morning, nothing, back in Belgium, no previous destinations either but maybe tomorrow i can get up a little earlier and go through all that again before I set off. Hopefully I won't need to stop for a loo break otherwise I will have to resert it again. It doesn't matter how many times i select GBR, the car still thinks it is in Belgium! I am taking 2 phones, and an old Tom Tom as backup. just in case. Normally it wouldn't be an issue, but I have a meeting in the city centre & will need to find the parking and don't want to be late! Oh well, we will see. Thanks for all your help everybody. great forum, shame some peeps get a bit stressed with the conversations!

There is an update to the Gen 2.1 system for an issue where the sat nav defaults to Belgium on start up. This is not a map update but a software update to the unit itself. Only able to be carried out using SDD

Thanks Kae for your reply.... definately have the same issue as yours....we also have a further slight issue that we can only enter 5 digits in the postcode field...it’s now become next to useless!

Also thanks to LR2hselux for his comments....anyone got an SDD tool in Kent/SE who wants a guinea pig??

It’s a technical bulletin, some units respond to an update, others do not and require the control unit to be replaced.

Do we even know where the control unit is? Sounds expensive!
