thanks , will have to save up for newer rangie!

And you won't get speed cams on the satnav in that either as no LR system can cope with speed cam info 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

i might be wrong but i think that using the bmw system some how you can load speedcams but this is only for the pre touch screen.. ... - .- -.

thats right,the good old bmw system will let you have them  V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.

Is this just LR being behind the times, a technical limitation, or LR not have fully identified a way to update/ charge for th new data.
As the new satnavs are not disc based, and POIs are user programable I am sure there is a way to upload data, for fixed cams at least.
Some clever person needs to get to work on this.
Dealer (for what they're worth) told me that there is no current update/upgrade program in place that they are aware of for new maps either.
I find that slightly implausible, but then again........ Gerry

Denso make the Nav units and Navteq make the maps and quite a few manafacutrers buy in this solution so it's not such a unique problem.
Maybe if we stuck really small stickers of speed cameras on the disc in the right place that would work  2008 MY Supercharged

its the average FFRR owner having the knowledge of 'how' to put the speedcams onto the sat nav..tomtom and garmin are easy cos you just connect the unit to the pc/laptop and download, how do you do that with the RR unit?..the only way i can think of is to copy the speedcams onto a cd disc and load them via the dvd unit as a kinda firmware flash....but could this be to technical for the average driver. ... - .- -.

And the latest models have no disc, not sure they have a hardrive or solid state memory that is updated? Gerry

does yours possibly have an sd card with the map data on gerry.. ... - .- -.

More recent cars also have a USB reader in the centre cubby that might be useful as that is also read by the head unit.

Possibly one reason for LR not wanting to put Speed Cam info on is a legal one - they could be seen to be encouraging speeding and in this day of customers suing at the drop of a hat there is always the chance of being sued by somebody who has been caught speeding and claiming their system didn't alert them to there being cams in their location. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
