2013 Sat Nav Disc Upgrade?
« on: 27 September 2014, 13:58:34 »
I usually never use my sat nav preferring to use my brain, road knowledge, experience, and nose to track down where I want to go.

I know why I do as last week I had need to go to an address in Folkestone so I thought let's try it for once; bloody useless, it took me completely to the wrong side of town!!  I then used my trusted brain in built map and nose to quickly track down my destination. ::) ::) ::)

Anyway, I have been wondering, as I want to get my Omega completely to an up to date condition, can you still obtain up to date sat nav discs for our 2013 unit? ??? ???

This has probably been asked before, so my apologies, but I cannot be bothered to trail through years of posts!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

 Thanks in advance for any answers?  :y :y :y

Ignore the 'dangle berries' that it needs an "update disk" that Navteq say. Its complete cobblers, there is no software code for the NCDC on the update disk, its all on the actual map disk :)

Yes, thanks just found this on ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NCDC-1100-1500-NCDR-2013-2015-OPEL-SIEMENS-VDO-England-UK-Ireland-2010-2011-/400627214203?pt=Navigations_CDs_software_1&hash=item5d473e277b

Any thoughts before I buy? ??? ???

Got mine from those guys and it is spot on.

You will not regret it, although I didn't notice to many differences there are some, the main thing is it works as it should.  :y

Well I got my 2010/11 disc.  For fun tried it to take me into town, then again back out.

If I had followed the disc's directions, and not used my local knowledge, I would still be searching for my destination!!  Absolutely crap!! ::) ::) ::) :( :(

It still doesn't work on post codes, and just lives up to what I think of sat navs; what a waste of time and money!! No wonder lorries end up down small country lanes and tracks! :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

Back to what I have done for my past 1 million miles; use my brain, instinct, nose, and a little help from a hard copy map:D :D :D :y :y

It does what its supposed to do - get you to your destination. Not necessarily by the "best" route, but using an algorithm of the preferences you set.

Not quite sure what the fascination is with postcodes. Even when I have postcode option, I always enter town/road.

Large vehicle drivers should use a system designed for them - the Siemens VDO system is for cars, thus unsuitable for large vehicles.

Mine has yet to get me lost, stuck or otherwise embarrassed, not that its always obeyed - its a driver aid, not mandatory instruction.

Really? I thought the last was for 2008.  Can't imagine the CARiN having the legs to run newer :o
