| LR Sat Nav v TomTom Go 930 |
|
I have only had my D3 for about a month - but have found the LR SatNav to be, IMHO, inferior to my old TomTom Go 930T.
The routeing doesn't seem to be so good, I can't add POIs, and of course it doesn't have IQRoutes and Advanced Lane Guidance.
I was told by a stealer that the LR SatNav does have RDS-TMC but I can't see that it has. Certainly when the TomTom recommends a change of route due to, say, an accident, the LR system did not. Do I have to do something to activate the LR RDS-TMC ?
Finally, if as I fear, I decide not to use the LR SatNav, is there some way of switching off the display, or can I use it for some other purpose?
TIA.

to be honest njss it's not just LR that make not so good as tomtom nav, tomtom make satnav for a living, it's what they do, nothing else, LR make 4x4's it's what they do, the nav is always going to be inferior unless it's a tomtom system they put in,
of all the cars i've used with built in sat nav NONE of them are as good as tomtom, but as i said, it's ALL that they do so it's only right,
I use the LR satnav for most but will be putting the new tomtom onto the iphone as i can then use the cradle for hands free callign as well as charging and nav back up...
just have to get in a navara to see how bad nav can be, no post code option etc etc.
if tomtom made land rovers i wouldnt expect them to be as good as a discovery..

Slimer - many thanks.
I assume that I must have Standard Nav, but the stealer said when I bought the car that the nav system had TMC.
How can I tell Premium Nav from Standard please?
ad15 - good point well made; but why don't LR buy in TomTom expertise like Toyota & Renault have?

probably becuase they've speant so much money on the rest of the electrical wizardry that the choice was to save a penny or two elsewhere,
i'd love it if they did go tomtom route, not holding my breath though,
sorry for the double post, not sure what happened there...
