mornin' all
having trawled through the search function I'm still in the dark regarding my sat nav in my 2001 P38 4.6 Vogue.
When I turn on the ignition I get the land rover intro screen with the various options (on road, off road, set etc.) and all seems fine.
When I input a destination and select route map it show me a map, in orange & blue with the pointer (which I assume is the car) but this bears no relation to where I actually am (often showing the pointer near no road at all).
Even tho' it's old technology by todays standard and I do have a stand alone Tom Tom I would like it to work.
Anyone know whether it likely to be:
1. the disk - mine is dated 2001 and original - according to LR this is the latest version available for the P38 system as it was changed on the L322
2. The unit in the boot - I've taken it out and everything looks fine regarding connectors and no water ingress etc.
3. the GPS receiver - don't know where this is or if it can be replaced but it is obviously receiving a signal as the pointer shows on the screen & moves
4. something I'm doing wrong with the set up - I do have the LR ownes sav nav user guide and think I'm doing everything right
from other posts it appears that the system is the same as the BMW system from the same year and this is apparenly more reliable, are they interchangeable and if so is it just a case of getting a BMW unit & disk and just swapping it over
apologies for the lengthy post but since getting the beastie I'm really impressed and this is one of only 2 niggles that I want to sort (other is low level washer fluid sensor but I'm replacing that on Saturday)
cheers in anticipation
