Landrover navigation?

[DaleJ]

Hi, currently have a freelander 2 and looking at ordering a new Discovery. Is the premium navigation good or worth the money? Would i be better off with a Hema navigator?

There is so much better out there than Hema Navigator, get yourself an Android Tablet, use Oziexplorer, Androzic, or Backcountry Navigator, there free and the Maps are heaps better if you know were to find them, I use all 3 depending on were im going and for basic turn by turn road Nav I have an aldi special...

Welcome, theres a lot more initial setup, but well worth it

I use the D4 navigation around town, but is not great. It will not always find the best route but it gets you there and tells you where you are. In off road mode the "bread crumbs" are handy.

On trips, I use a Sony Xperia Z tablet with Ozi explorer (Android) on a Ram mount secured to the front passenger seat bolt. Works very well. I previously used an Asus tablet which struggled to get a GPS fix through the heated windscreen. This is no problem for the Sony.

Using the tablet frees up the car screen to display other information........A lot to choose from and some of it useful or fun.
