Perhaps this is old news but I have been checking intermittently and the new disc finally appeared on the Navteq site. Now the question is -- do I blow $200 on updating an old nav system without traffic, etc. or pick up a Garmin and deal with the clutter?


Jaguar - North America Map DVD Version 2011-2012 - 2005

 

I have the 2010 Nav DVD that I got from someone on this forum for $30. Works great. However, I find an annoyance that every time I would put the radio on mute, when the nav voice prompt came on, it would un-mute the radio, then i would need to put the radio on mute again... drives me totally bunkers!

Is there a way to turn the radio off when the Nav is running?

Anyone up for a "Group Buy"?

 

Yeah get seven of us together and I'm in.

 

I'm interested. Keep me posted!

 

Can someone tell me what version of the maps I have based on this photograph of the disk? I just got the car a few weeks ago.

 

SAys 2002 on the disk so I would have to say that is really outdated and for the NAV systems that were text based. Map based ones came out in 2004 for the XJ & S-Type.

 

The car is an '04 and the unit is definitely map-based. Is it possible that the disc is for the old text-based ones yet works anyway (although outdated)?

And what's the source for these $30 ones I'm reading about?

 

It should work fine, though severely outdated. I have always paid around $200 for the discs, not sure what $30 discs are out there unless old ones on eBay.

 

Well, that would explain why I can't seem to find *anything* using my nav

 

I am down for a group purchase!

Me too

 

I'm in..

btw.. nalley offers a 15% discount for forum members..

 

On a group buy the more the more cost effective it will be!

 

I only use my Nav about twice a year so I'd be interested in purchasing the 2010 North American version from anyone who purchases the new one.

Thanks

 

I'm possibly in on a group buy.

 

You could buy mine

 

Food for thought for those thinking of upgrading. I purchased a 2010 map update for my 04 XJ8 earlier this year. It's somewhat better than the original 04 map but not dramatically so. Best part about it is that it gave me the ability to enable/disable daytime lights from the nav screen. That's a useful feature when heading on a road trip. The Jag logo screen color changed from green, like the rest of my instruments, to black. It's a bit off-putting at first but I've gotten used to it. Don't know when XJ background lighting changed from green to black so perhaps this is a non-issue for many. Would I buy the update again if I had a do-over? Probably. Is it worth $200? Probably not.

 

Depends on where you live and what you use it for. I saw a huge difference in map updates & POI updates coming from 2006 so it was more than worth it to me.

 

You can count me in on a group buy!
