Hi all
i've been having trouble with my 2002 RR sat nav where every time i input a destiantion it refuses to tell me what direction to go in even when i leave it for a good 20 mins. Sorry for the sparse description

Sat navs love em or hate them. Sometimes i do both

Did it actually work before ( have you just got the car?)
Does it show where you are on a map without entering a destination?

I have had the car for around 1 year now and the sav nav has worked fine until now. And yes its dose display where i am on the map.

 

[marjon]

Oh.

Yours is a cd 1yes?
If you put destination in can you hear it doing anything in the boot?

Yea when i punch a destination in i can hear the cd drive in the boot. So im guessing thats all working fine

The CD buzzing does not mean it is actually reading the data.

Its all fine now gents. turns out that the gps receiver under the wiper shroud was all dirty and corroded. So an hour of cleaning she is all back up and running

Thanks for all your help

It will be too out of date to be much use in France.
I see you live just up the road from where I used to live

Oh really thats a weird coincidence.

Well done result that’s why I asked if the car knew where it was.

I believe there are updated discs available.

Even the newest discs are rarely up to date with new roads in France. Loads of new bypasses and motorways in the last 19 years and road improvements are still happening all the time unlike the UK.

Yea i dont see the point in updateing it. But im still gonna keep the original sat nav system just for looks

Yep it was out of date the minute she rolled off the production line..

The world hasn't changed too much since 2013 so it's still useful to a degree!

Your world might not have changed much, but a lot has changed over here in 6 years.
