I didn't think this era of sat nav had the ability to update on live traffic delays!? I've definitely not seen this on my 2013 FL2! |

We have a 2023 Toyota and a 2024 Clio , Compared to using Waze the Satnavs on both are pants . Just get Waze on your smartphone and plug it into the Audio if you want louder instructions . Nearly every taxi you get in now will have a smartphone running Waze . It’s free , updated in real time by users , customisable , and you can even enter business names and such . Why spend money on obsolete tech ? 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

I have a very old tom tom go from 2007 still works and is preferable over the sat nav in my 2013 FL2

I use a TomTom20 mounted down on right hand side of screen.Actually use the TomTom for speed readouts, more accurate.

I think the latest and probably the last ever update is 2020/21 maps which are available on DVD (>2012) and (2013>) USB Stick. The map in my 2013 car is still the factory original and faced with the then £169 (now £89) for the 20/21 usb stick version, I chose instead to buy a Garmin DriveSmart 76 with its lifetime free map updates. I really hadn't realised just how bad the LR satnav was in comparison to the Garmin.

I only made the change because mine had started to freeze up, or when it first loaded it would tell me I was in the wrong country???
