I agree, giving you 400 yards notice to an exit on a fast dual carriageway is rubbish. '14.5 SDV8 Nara Bronze for sale

Sounds pretty poor I have a 2003 Vogue with, in comparison a very 'old hat' Sat Nav system which gives plenty of notice Now: BMW 640d M Sport, Alpine White

No issues for me, but then I do have a Mark-one Eyeball, a sense of direction, a helping of common sense and the general ability to get myself from A to B without involving much more than the aforementioned.

I tend to rely on my sat nav a lot in places that are not familiar. Did so in Germany, France (La Defence in Paris !!!), some remote parts of Holland and Eurotunnel to Heathrow last week. The MY2010 did a great job for me and apart from some very minor stuff (luckily in a part of Holland that I have been to before) it did very well.

[quote="jasoneite"]Not only is this frustrating but very dangerous and giving us a bad name. When you are using guidance, the sat nav gives you less than 1 miles notice that your junction is next and you end [/quote]

What is this forum for if you can't comment on things in a car that you pay for but don't work. Of course there are signs but we are in the uk and the signs are not always that good. I like to know that I have 2 - 3 miles to go before the junction. Most motorway signs tell you in 1 mile. I can only assume from your comments that you work for land rover customer services and you also don't really understand what I am talking about. My car before wasn't a BMW or AUDI. I am sure you are sarcastically saying they are bad drivers.

Well I can say in my 3 years of ownership this hasn't really caused me a problem, I certainly hadn't noticed any missing junctions and this issue hasn't cost me any money (unlike lots of other things on my RR).

So it was a little over exaggeration on my part calling dangerous |

Maybe you're right Craig. My Mrs certainly doesn't have a decent sense of direction but if she's undertaking a long road trip on unfamiliar roads she makes some notes and takes an atlas. Mostly the atlas never sees the light of day but it's there just in case it's needed.

Some good points! Especially about Milton Keynes and La Defense (where I work!), I once had to be talked in on a mobile (before sat-nav) at Milton Keynes to find an office!
