HDD Sat Nav

We have new D4 on order - an XS - with HDD Sat Nav!

Any comments re this? How do you update it? How do you add POIs etc. Who's system does it use?

At present we us a Garmin 7200 - a brilliant piece of kit PLUS I have lifetime NUMAPS with full updates every 4 month!

Seems a pity not to be able to make the most of two worlds.

The system is Jag/LR, and doesn't allow the adding or uploading of POIs.

Map updates are done by the dealer, though updates are purchased via a website.

I have a HSE with the full sat-nav. How do you purchase updates and from what website?

Overall, by the way, I think the sat-nav is a very weak point of the D4. Far too complicated and much less clear than a lowly TomTom, and way behind the COMAND system on my last Merc.

Has anyone determined whether or not you can upload a map from a different region now or is that option still unavailable? I have US maps living in Germany and LR Germany keeps telling me that they can not load Western European maps on my North American model. Any advice?

The LR HDD Satnav is a very expensive low functionality unit....! In Oz we dont even get the TMC because LR Australia is to cheap to buy a license from the provider in Australia.

TMC is different in Oz because it isn't licensed to a user it is licensed to hardware manufactures and it is free to end users, if you own licensed hardware.

When I travel I take my Garmin 1490T as its actually a better unit than the LR HDD Satnav. I can load routes and POI's on the Garmin from PC.

How hard would it be for LR to enable Route and POI uploads via the USB port?

Mowog hit the nail on the head Big Cry Very disappointed with LR on this one.

After this weekends fun & games I would suggest a bit of double-sided tape and a Tom-Tom.

My D3 didn't have Sat Nav and I always wished it had.

Now I wish the D4 had a Tom-Tom!
