Sat Nav

Hi all,

Got my new wheels on saturday and i'm really impressed. Moved up from a Freelander, and its a different planet to be honest. I'm enjoying everything with one exception.

Unless i'm being thick (very possible), plus I have had 3 other family members take a look.

But when you goto the postcode entry on the satnav it want numbers only all the alpha's are blacked out ?

Am i doing something wrong ?

Thank you all for a very informative site, which sold me on purchasing a RRE.

On order for march 2012 delivery: black dynamic plus with lux pack + privacy glass

It should offer alphabetic options at the start, then switch to numeric after you've entered the requisite number of letters, and so on. It does accept full post codes, I can assure you, unless you have a very specific problem.

RE: Sat Nav

I had this. You need to change the country to GBR (Great Britain). Then it will let you type in normal UK post codes.

RE: Sat Nav

You need to make sure the the "Area searched"is set to the country your destination is in.

If you would like to leave the island and visit Amsterdam, you would first have to change the country to Netherlands or it will not find Amsterdam. You would then also be able to use Dutch Postal codes which are different from UK ones.

If you want to use voice commands to do this your out of luck. It looks like LR forgot to add a way to change the destination country. It seems to be stuck on UK.

RE: Sat Nav

I think they all come set to that, it's the first country on the list isn't it?

Austria is usually OST for it's abbreviation. AUS is Australia!
