I drive an 05 XC90, and, living in Portugal, my one disappointment with the car is the satellite Navigation system, particularly in Southern Europe. At vast expense, I upgraded my maps in 06, but the information contained is very basic, only showing major roads etc.

I also have a TomTom, Which I use in my other cars, which gives comprehensive coverage, and is far superior in all areas.

When running the two systems side by side, which I did on a recent trip to UK, the Volvo (Navteq)shows up very poorly.

I was just wondering, before I go and waste another load of money on new discs, if anybody can give any feedback on the latest maps. Is there any improvement.

I believe the same system is now installed in Aston Martin and other quality cars, so surely Navteq must have made some effort to improve their systems.

Sorry if youve read this before, but I also posted it in the Volvo section, but thought I might generate a bit more response here !!
