RE: Gps coordinate input

The problem will be which datum is used for the base for constructing the maps - they can be cross referenced but there will be errors converting them. If both system use the mapping industry standard WGS84 for satnav maps then there should be no problem other than the way the digits are input - one may be degrees and decimals of a degree and the other may be degrees, minutes and decimals of a minute. In the UK we have a different system that is slowly being phased out in favour of WGS - the OS Coordinates, but these can easily be converted into latitude and longitude. I think that there is no way to directly input latitude nd longitude coordinates into the Evoque. Are you trying to create POI's?

RE: Gps coordinate input

You need to buy an update disc from the map makers, but your car should have the latest available from the company supplying Land Rover when it was delivered. The maps are not updated very often as they depend a lot on locals reporting changes to the digital map makers. Here in the UK I have seen cars painted or wrapped with the livery of NavTeq, the makers of digital maps, driving round doing surveys for them. I doubt that they have many cars driving around Malaysia updating maps. You may need a Tom-Tom type aftermarket system that you can update on-line if you need more up to date mapping

Map Updates for Land Rover available here, as there have not been any updates for the Evoque there is no product available ...

After a bit of poking around it seems that NAvTek dont update as often as TomTom or other aftermarket suppliers, but I did see that the maps for Jaguar XK are dataed mid 2011.
