I have had my FL2 for two months and although I have used Sat Nav before I am finding this one quite complicated. In the previous Freelander you were able to view the route the Sat Nav was proposing to take in the form of a listing. I know this one has a map displyed and you can get three routes but is there a way of getting a listing of the roads. I have read the instructions ( yes I am male and this is a last resort) but can't see how to do it or is the facility not there.

All help and comments appreciated.

Have to say I have been having problems of this nature myself
I'll have to try interrogating the manual again. I am getting frustrated bacause I can't seem to
ask it to calculate an alternative route, (like I could on Tom Tom) unless it offers to, (TMC an' all that)
It does seem overly complicated, I'm back to using Tom Tom on my PDA at the moment until I
find a way to burn a speed camera database to the DvD, and solve these other probs.  -----------------------------------------

To recalculate the route, whilst it is giving directions, press route options then the calculate button again, I think

If you stuck in traffic and TMC knows about it it will send you off in a different direction automatically, or give you the YES/NO option.

It doesn't say the delay time by keeping on the current route either

The only problem though on the roads it has sent me off on, the traffics worse than what i had just left due to the I'll use this short cut mentality of UK drivers, I know have TMC on but not have it auto re route.

Hi Simmo
When you find away to load speed camera detection please share it with us  David

Npinks I think wilbur as I am also after is a schedule of roads to be used on the route...ie
A5134 for 5.7 miles
A421 for 8.7 miles
M1 for 64 miles
M4 for 1 mile etc etc

The lack of this facility annoys me too the Tom Tom had it which was great. Also the Tom Tom alternative route seemed better as you could state road block: immediately, 100yds, 300yds, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile and you got a quick response. the L Rover one seems a bit Government office, slow to respond does not tell the true picture then takes you all round the houses!!!

once you have selected the route (Ie Leeds to Bedford)

Press Start, then

Press Route Options
Press Display Route
Press Turn List

This gives you what you are wanting, but you have to select one of the 3 routes first

It will the give you the option to Aviod Streets aswell

Its Cool been sat in my FL2 and been able to Forum over my wi-fi conection, why have i never thought of it before

Very impressed npinks with the new service you are providing, wi-fi in car helpline can you advise as to your office hours /best time to contact you etc...and do you have an emergency out of hours contact sevice ??
Realise this service is unlikely to remain free of charge where do we send the money

All i will need is your bank account details and for you to send me £2000 so I can then have access to my friends money (£20000000000) which is located in The Fraudulant Bank of Bolivia, but he can not access the money with out our help.

If you do this my wi-fi helpline will remain free, but It will come from my LR Day Tent on a beach in Bermuda

That all sounds perfectly fair and reasonable .... cheques in the post

It must be possible, I believe someones managed it for the BMW Sat Nav which possibly uses Navteq maps. -----------------------------------------

Will the DVD system accept a copied DVD RW, or will it be burned onto the orginal DVD?

I wonder if it does as you would not be able to keep updating the Orginal DVD when the new speed camera change, and you wouldn't be able to do it if the DVD has been finalized.

Also it wouldn't beep to say you was approaching a speed camera, and if you are speeding you'll have to keep an eye on the SAT NAV, and not on the road, so you would proberly crash too

I'm looking into a Window mounted GPS/radar detector, but these would not be wise to use if i go over the water to Frogland as they are illegal to use

It's not possible sorry. There are some ingenious solutions to get POI data on to some navigation CD's which involves re-compiling the data onto a new DVD but Land Rover's system is not one of these. Even where it has been achieved it simply adds the icon, no warning alerts so IMHO rather pointless.

That doesn't mean it's all over.

They could have been refering to the D3, RRS, RR or defender satnav, not the FL2 which I beleive operates on a slightly different system.
