Sat nav or NOT ??????

Probably been covered but i cannot find it so here goes.
Some say the Sat nav is good, most say it is not worth looking at, has anyone removed the screen and replaced with an aftermarket system or removed the radio slot and placed there. My system sometimes works or sometimes shows an error in reading the disc. Looking for ideas before i revert to my Iphone and turn the screen off.
Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all Smile

Assume its an 05-09 RRS, im yet to see a system that looks right in that hole, personally for the amout of time i use the OEM Sat nav i cant see the value in changing it mate. Id be more inclined to fix whats there

U tried a new disk? should get a 2010 one on ebay for 30/40 quid and will be more current in terms of location info.

Even a replacement NAV DVD unit are cheap on ebay

error reading DVD would make me think Disk first as its the cheapest and DVD unit second.

My sc has satnav with TMC. Mine works great, does not always get the best route, but still gets me there, I also like the twin screen option. The TMC earlier this year redirected me around a 2 hour delay on the A1, could not fault it. I have a tom tom (very easy, idiot proof) i dont like the layout, i prefer the map look. I also have a vdo-dayton (siemens) which is not as user friendly as any of the above. In general i dont think the satnav is to bad, just some people like pretty picture satnavs

If you remove it you will also lose the 4x4 information and off road navigation

best option I use is Autoroute on a laptop plumbed into a separate GPS receiver. It allows routes to be set at home and modified to take in particular places or nice looking roads.

I just wish there was a way to upload routes to the built in satnav before setting off.

Sad Trip for christmas- Cornwall to Yorkshire.
Sat nav set up at home all ok. Travelled 40mins and then this on screen:- MAP DVD - Read Error. Regained route and position several times then i gave up and put on 4x4 nav screen.
Re callibrated with different disc (more later). worked for 5 days no problems and i am over the moon. Trip back all well until sat nav decided to go its own way (about 1hr) and not the way the car was going.Tried to re cal on way (son not me) but no joy , but it stayed on the map screen and did not give the Map error. Confused

So i have 2 disc,s. one that came with the car (told by dealer)
L/R PT No YIW500200
DENSO PT No 464210-5720
Land Rover
2006 DENSO CORP,
1993-2005

UPDATED BY PRIEVIOUS OWNER?.
Land Rover pt No 6H42-10E898-AE
DENSO pt No 464110-7560
2009 DENSO CORP 2009-2010
1993-2009

Went up on the 2009/2010 disc and changed to 2006 disc when in yorkshire.

Q's
Are these disc's L/R OEM?
Could the 2006 disc be good and the 2009/10 be copy and corupted the system?
The drive and disc become very hot, could this be the problem and the drive is distorting the info on the disc????(bit of a flyer this one)
Could i have a bad conection on the GPS reviever at the drive or roof end?
OR IS THE RRS SYSTEM JUST C**P
Any suggestions (within reason)

Happy new year to all my readers Laughing

I have a 2005 TDV6 HSE.

I obtained a 2011 upgrade Nav disc from the internet for a 'backup' price of £40 (some legal loophole apparently).

Satnav works fine and I have set up my TomTom which has the traffic function on it as well.

The results were these.

Both SatNavs got to the destination roughly similar times but the TomTom uses much more minor routes and with the Traffic function was likely to be better at rerouting for holdups.

The inbuilt SatNav only uses more major routes and the TMC function works fine on my 2005.

Overall the inbuilt unit works fine and that's what I use daily. 2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE in Artic Frost. 20" 2010 HST Alloys, sidesteps, Hawke tips, plus minor bits and bobs along with a remap. Four spike spiders ready for the Alps again now tucked up in their garage boxes...

I turn the screen off 99% of the time in the car. Sat Nav in mine is 2007 and is just about OK but loads of roads I use are missing. The cost of a new disk is about twice the cost of the TomTom I already had so of little use.

You wait till you want to use it in say for instance Galicia Northern Spain, it can;t even find the roads, and the same in most of Brittany for us thist last month and mine is a May 2011Sport, my I Phone is far better.
