Navigation Bug
Hi...
I have a 2002 XK8. My navigation system works fine with the exception
of not being able to find many businesses (most of which have been
around for many years). I've never had a problem searching for an
address, but business names are another thing.
I've had a terrible time with my local Jaguar dealer, who agrees that
it's a problem, but say it's a software problem and they can do
nothing about it. They did try two other DVDs, and the problem
existed on each of them. It appears that there is a problem accessing
a portion of the database.
Has anyone else noticed this problem?
Regards,
Linda

RE: Navigation Bug
i am not familiar with this particular issue, but, what i think the problem....whatever company compiled that disc probably charged a fee, similar to the fee charged by the phone book, to list a business. if all of the discs do it, id bet that those companies are too cheap to pay the fee.

Hi Patrick...
Thanks for your thought. I believe that Alpine licenses the InfoUSA database, which definitely includes the missing businesses. I have an aftermarket navigation system on my other car. I've come up with dozens of entries that could be found on the non-Jag system, but not on the Jag. By the way, one of the missing businesses is Neiman Marcus in San Francisco. The store has been there for at least 20 years. Neiman Marcus in Palo Alto IS listed.
This XK8 is my first (and definitely last) Jaguar. It's hard to believe that a company that sells a $75K car is willing to tell their customers that it's a software problem, and therefore they won't do anything about it.
