Sat nav

[k42tut]

Hi ,
Currently on the jec tour in jersey, my sat nav disc is the original that came with the car, 2004 car, 2003 disc,
Came off the ferry and no map, does not appear to cover the Channel Islands, seems a bit hard to understand when it's got all the rest of Europe on it,
I believe that the C I are included on later discs
Tried messing with the settings , taking disc out etc,,
Any ideas

Hello k42tut
Your assumption is, I think, correct, Channel Islands is not on your disc. It's not on mine, both original discs and newer ones I've purchased.
When changing "search area" on the Nav Menu, Channel Islands doesn't come up. The same applies to the Isle of Man. The Shetland Isles are shown though. I suppose the thought is that if you keep driving you'll go in a circle and end up where you started anyway except Shetland where you drop off the island.
Contact www.satnavdisc.co.uk, info@satnavdisc.co.uk for further information.

Hi Dave
Yes it's not too hard to find your way around on Jersey so could be worse, was just surprised it wasn't there originally, will consider update disc but not usually a problem here and a bit wary after hearing stories of copied discs not working and corrupting the system

Just out of interest has anyone tried one of these disks, and is there any truth in it when people say that an after market disc can damage the system.

Hi Jeff,

I have upgraded twice using aftermarket sat nav discs without any problems either with install or operation. The upgrades work just as well as the Jaguar originals. That’s the good news the bad news is that the Jaguar sat nav software is pretty poor and slow compared with latest offerings and the upgrades simply replicate this.
I just checked my latest after market upgrade disc and can confirm that, like the original, there are no Channel Island maps.
