The easiest way is to stick a garmin on top of the sat nav screen , new maps just help the oem sat nav to screw up on new roads as well as old ones Confused At work

What irritates me more than anything with regards to the SatNav issues, and it was the same with my previous Porsche's, is that their is no recourse to the manufacturer. I appreciate LR, and other car makers, just use a mainstream supplier (forget who it is) for the system and so have their hands tied, but it is simply not right that we cannot "log a fault" and get LR and the system manufacturer to fix it. Evil or Very Mad

Try driving up the A12 to Ipswich, and set the satnav accordingly. It is straightforward as it is only the dual-carriageway A12 you will be on. However, it insists on taking you off at Colchester thru the town centre, and then back onto the A12! Mad Chris

Hi folks,
Today I received my 2010 DVD navigation and when I inserted the disc the system told me that will need to upgrade the software to a recent version. It will take about 15min.
Wait, wait, wait (with resets with 2 min of interval) and after 30min with nothing happened, I turn off the car and now I have a NAVIGATION SYSTEM "broken" and cannot use it.

Any thoughts?
It's better to make a visit to the dealer?

Regards
Carvalho

rover60, mine did the same, put the updated disc, waited and waited got bored after thirty minutes, turned the ignition off and went in have tea, came out afterwards (got out of the washing up) and nothing but an error screen, thought I had b******** it so thought a trip to the stealer was in order. Next morning came out started it up and it started updating again, drove for twenty minutes and it all started working. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Hi again,

After 30 min of waiting, I turn de ignition off and went to dinner.
After that, returned to the car an turned on the ignition and wait 1h30. It fixed itself.
Mysterious....

All ended well.

I had a similar problem Rolling Eyes until I read the book and learnt how to use the navigation by setting up the priorities of a route and now it works just fine Thumbs Up .

In short: Read The Book, as I believe there is no problem with the system, it’s just learning to use it that takes some time. Whistle 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

If you picked up a new vehicle from a LR Dealer tell him to provide you with a set of up to date discs.
