I have an 06 DB9 with 05 sat nav discs .
Never used the sat nav but decided I might try it.
I would like to know what the latest updates are,how much and best place to buy them.
Normally never use a sat nav,bit of a Luddite I'm afraid,but I do occasionally use my IPad which is ok but obviously difficult to place in a viewable position.
Comments on this forum say it's a pita,is it really that bad ?

Nope - it's fine. It never got me lost, even round Derby !!!

Yes there are updated discs available - expensive authorised ones or cheaper copies from a site that cannot be named or this thread gets pulled frown

Can't you just sellotape your ipad to the steering wheel confused

Sorry to ask a separate question on this thread, but is it possible to de-activate the satnav? I don't have any need for it here, and at night the glare from it can be annoying.

yes

You obviously have it activated (perhaps inadvertently) to come on with ignition. Before shutting down, please ensure you don't have a route planned otherwise - like Bincenzo - you'll start to hear strange beeps from time to time, and wonder where they're coming from smile

If you are attending Burghley I have a 2011 DB9 disc you can have as I have purchased a 2012 one.

Thanks. I've had the car about 2 months and it's always just popped up when starting the ignition, closing when turning off. I've got zero use for Sat Nav in Guernsey, so not really had proper a look at it.

Thank you David.
I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car .
There are some changes you have made to the car that I'm interested in seeing in the flesh.

I quite liked that setting, as well as the powerfold mirrors opening up on ignition too yes

Not today. But if you want any tips on map reading so you can ditch the sat nav, please ask.

(Although seeing as you confused Guernsey with Jersey, maybe it's not such a good idea) smile

Alright you two,that's quite enough cheeky nonsense.
I thought Jersey Boy sounded better,Guernsey Boy sounds like a breed of bovine.
Anyway both places are outside my normal terms of reference i.e. Monaco,St.Tropez,Barbados .
I believe comprehensive school children visit those English Islands on school trips.

A certain Cockernee geezer is heading there in his boat in the next day or so. Hopefully they make sure all doors and windows are locked and valuables safety away biggrin
