eBay, I reckon.

Navteq, who designed the system and provided the mapping data on CD-ROMs, still sell these discs for the 406 at full-price, despite the fact that the final versions were released in 2006, so they're between 5 and 6 years out-of-date. The 2006 version of the UK disc is priced at around £80, which is around the price of a complete TomTom system.

If you can get your location's discs on eBay, you'll likely save a lot of money - but at the end of the day, it's still going to be out of date.

i made a few spare copies of mine just in case they get scratched, but being an 03 disk its so out of date ireland doesn't even exhist. £80 for the 06 disk is madness when the iPhone tom tom app costs £49

Google Navigation on Android is free, and really good

Wouldn't mind a 2006 disc, but I'm not paying £80 for it. £8 at a push, but they do occasionally go on eBay for 99p.

would it be hard to update the maps at home with a bit of help from 'the computerist'

99p is about all its really worth but ive seen the 2003 disk on ebay at £100 and it actually ended with a bid imagine waking up to check on the emails to see £100 spent on that

I can certainly vouch for how bad the navigation will be. Even up-to-date Navteq can't be that great. The routing program that I use at work uses Navteq maps & we discovered this week that it was planning routes over a bridge that doesn't exist!

can the factory fitted sat nav even let you look at where you will be going, it just seems to do the directions for there and then, no real map is displayed.

I think I have a 2005 disc...

As far as I could make out the last time I looked it's in some crazy binary format, so I don't fancy reverse-engineering it.

ha, change it around and you suddenly find attack helicopters trying to get your car

the pp2000 complains that the sat nav has the incorrect speed recorded, what would be the problem there, does the speedometer send the gps data, or is it calculated through the antenna?
