To answer a previous question, the updates for the LR2 Navigation will come directly from Navteq, same as for the Range Rover (our other car). So far Range Rover's get updated about once a year, and we get an email telling us about the update ahead of time.

Nav system by rovergal

I like the navigation system in the LR2 better than that in the Range Rover Supercharged too. Just a little user-friendlier, although I'd like to change the type of voice, but I can live with her.
 
She updates quickly, and only has one "bug" that I could find. My regular route to work takes me over a 2 mile stretch of dirt road (which is a major, state maintained road and on every map), and she will NOT recognize it as a valid road. Not sure if the next update will fix this or not.

You can change the language preference just like in the big Range Rover.
 
Just go into the settings menu under language.

well - like the nav so far.
 
Only quark issue was yesterday, started her up, put in dirve (didn't touch the screen yet) but it was past the logo stage and was on the settings screen. All the sudden (this is like 10 seconds into the drive) a pop sound (like a fuse had blown), I had glanced over and the nav was, in what looked like, a fresh start. The LR logo was up and it was, in seconds, in the ready all over again. But, it worked fine after that and has since.
 
The only other thing, what last week while driving listening to CD, the LR switched over to the FM without me telling it to.
 
so, that's my quick recap. Everything working good since.
 
A friend at work is convinced the nav is voice activated. But, I can't see where that is the case.

The nav is not voice activated. The version they use in the XK is voice activated but it was removed for the LR2.

funny the dealer told me this NAV was new and only used in the LR2. I didn't think it was VA - maybe in the future - would be nice tho.. heck I could have gotten my 06 Ridgeline with VA NAV.

Well it is brand new NAV and the 2007 XK is the only other car to have the flash animation based navigation system. You could still say that this NAV is only used in the LR2 since the XK nav is slightly different with the VA and a couple of other things. The XK has all of its radio functions built onto the NAV screen along with other things.
 
Unless your dealership is a dual point with a Jag store or has been around the new XK they probably wouldn't know about the relation.

they are jag too - had one for loaner the x s (some) type. ehh ok. love the LR better. Once thing sold me on the nav was just that ITS the nav only NO other function. i wish the radio display was a bit larger, but i guess that was a straight shoot from the LR3 minis the 7.1 system.

Yeah I don't like having the NAV screen doing the radio stuff either it bothers me but nothing bothers me more then having climate control stuff on the NAV screen.
 
The Radio is designed by Alpine in the LR2 and by Harmon Kardon in the LR3. They are completely different from each other but both top level systems have 7 channel surround sound.

Hi Everybody,
Firstly i want to thank you all, for your inputs have really helped me make decision on the rover. Right now my only concern is the nav,I was thinking of buying a in dash external nav other than factory installed. As the technology keeps changing i wanna be trying new things on my nav, with factory installed i thought i would be stuck with just 1 model and a very high price. what do u think?..
