Hi..I'm impressed by the quick response on here to my last question, thanks to all members that helped.

so thought i would ask another question I have an 03 SE with sat nav whihc works fine but even on the drive home found its out of date can any one tell me if this can be upgraded to the latest maps and how much this costs.

Thank you
Brian

You can upgrade the navigation disc by buying new ones direct from the manufacturers.

Hardware upgrades are also posible, for example DVD-based systems and widescreen monitors are doable.

A number of members on here have done exactly as you want and upgraded their standard equipment.

JohnDotCom in particular knows a fair amount about the SatNav stuff and I'm sure he'll spot this thread and be along to advise in due course...

ebay is good place to look. The Hi-Line system is the same as used on Land and Range Rover some BMW, some Citroen and others. The maps are Navtech and these can be bought via their website for £104 for 2007 UK and similar [prices for continental ones.

I don't wish to tread on anyones toes but I got my 2006/07 disc off Ebay for less than £20. Appears to work fine, been in cd drive for about a month now with no problems.

Not treading on anybodies toes, no problems.
I just try to help members of club with no access to these with a donation to club, as I purchase OEM packs of 8 discs.
Yes some good bargains sometimes on there, but many are Copies unfortuneatly so we musn't condone that on the Forums, it causes to many problems to club.
So be careful, generally OK though.

Also wouldn't like to know what damage if any a duff copy disc would do to the computer.
You pays your money n takes your choice.

thanks for the offer but just purchased one off ebay (genuine) awaiting delivery paid 54 for it checked the web site for costs and this was a far bit cheaper. If i had know you had some would have probably bought one.

I believe you can also get firmware upgrades is this true? and if so what benifits is their? I know with computers can make a big differance! and where can you purchase or download?
