Bought a new upgraded disc to see if it would help, but have to say....its rubbish.
I know that I am in France, but halve the towns/villages are not on there, input of destination is complicated [compared with Tom Tom or Garmin] no camera locations. My BMW 2007 M3 one is so much better, all be it still complicated to input destination.
Is it me, or are they really this bad?

Seem to be fine in the UK with an updated disc. 2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)
2017 Range Rover Autobiography 5.0 V8
2018 JCW Mini Cooper
2018 Skoda VRS

I really like it.

Mine works fine, again with an updated disc  2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

No camera locations is a pain
And not being able to set destination on move is a right pain Growing old is compulsory Growing up is optional

You need to update your firmware then you can turn on "nav on the move"

I like it apart from JLR refusing to issue update discs.

I liked it in the UK with all the features interlinked but here in Oz it sucks balls , no TMC no RDS, limited POI and no extra info on them, mapping from Burke and Wills first crossing and Land Rover won't allow updated maps to be released .And it runs the old soft wear so you need to push five buttons to cancel a route . Some people complain about the graphics but in UK speck at least it was well integrated. 2008 MY Supercharged

Mine seemed to work well in France when visiting family. Which version is the updated disc?

Well, I disagree chaps. All my recent cars, the D3, the FFRR and the Jaguar XF all have largely the same system and it's really rubbish. Slow to respond, takes forever to search, no ability to add updates such as cameras, the list goes on. The best bit about it quite frankly is that the touch screen is a handy place to sucker mount the TomTom.

Even the later cars with hard disc based navigation are pretty much the same except the search is quicker. Whoopee Doo !. Still no ability to upload personal sets of POI. How crap is that ?

Oh, updated discs. Yeah the latest one I can get for the XF and my 2008 D3 still doesn't have the A5 Hints bypass on it. That's only been open for 6 years.

the latest disc is the 2011-2012 version....i've been to france,belgium,and germany with no problems in fact a tomtom nav was used in conjunction with my FF nav on my cologne trip and it wanted to take down farm tracks all the time whereas the FF nav took us straight to our destination....

and the amount of times i do use the nav i find adequate..

I'm with mzplcg on this. It's terrible for such a costly car. Same system in the D3 and no better. Its a decade behind the competition. I've given up with it in the D3 and use a Tomtom. Graham

What I can not understand is,why the tom tom in my van
Can find all the local villages and towns etc, but the sat nav in our
RR cannot, it's been upgraded to the 2011/12 disc. Or is it
that the mapping for Europe is not as detailed/complete, is there
a different disc for Europe? It just seems silly that we have
this great car, with built in sat nav, and we end up sticking a
Tom Tom on the windscreen, to find our way around.

I like it - that being said, I've not had another type of satnav.
We used it three years ago in seven countries over three thousand miles and it was perfect.
Personally, don't need the "extras" ie speed camera stuff -

 Where do you go after one of these . . . ?

I have found the Nav in the touchscreens ok but if you want a really horrid experience then try a D4 circa 2011/12MY and if it hasn't been updated prepare to be amazed how slow a more modern system can be... It was literally a click and wait between postcode letters, and i dont mean like the touchscreen wait, i mean like the get counting wait!


Its no wonder makers are looking at integrating android or iOS as its just easier for them.

TBH if they just used a nice Linux or such opensource variant from the start everyones life would have been so much easier as someone with some noose would have been able to create an update pack for it and be making a nice tidy sum off it and not having to charge much for it either  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
