SATNAV Mapping Up-Date?

[12ltrooper]

Hi All,

Just picked up my new 2005 X-350 - can anyone tell me what is the latest edition of the mapping for the SATNAV is and how to up date it?

Hi Phil, the update is by a DVD which you can get from Jaguar Dealers and I think the current version is up to 2011. The cost is around £180 I think.

Hi Jaguar maps are all supplied by Navteq, might be a bit cheaper than going through a dealer, though still quite expensive:

Have a look at www.satnavi.com they can provide you with a new Sat Nav Disc for the XJ at around £40.

Have you tried their service and is it reliable?

I have not tried them yet, I came accross their web site as I am looking to up grade my 2006 map. I expect that I will be trying them out soon though, I will let you know how they perform.

Looking at their web site's terms and conditions, they are selling "backup" disks only. i.e. you can only legally use them if you already own a pukka disk of the same date bought from Navtec. Of course, in that situation, you could just as easily burn a copy DVD yourself and save £40.

You might also wish to look at the current legal action where Microsoft are suing Comet over provision of backup disks for Windows.
