Not to be directed to DataReady specifically, but to anyone who complains about their system failing or having to be recoded after a failed update....[quote]

I am not complaining, I am only repeating and stressing the issue that we all see quiet often, the Nav lost some component and was kicked in Euro mode, that is all. Sharing my experience does not mean I am complaining, I am very greatful for the Map updates. Presently ( as I stated before) I am keeping my nav in the (None euro mode) that is to avoid saying US or none US mode and not to offend the global release users. This not an advice against update. Just take a look at the thread, half of the posts are about lost options and how to recover them back.

And here it is in ISO format too for everyone that doesn't have Windows or who doesn't want to install the "Alcohol" software...

Why ISO? It's an industry standard specification (as opposed to MDF which is proprietary) and is supported by virtually all CD burning software on Windows, Mac and Linux...

I guess we need more folks to load V28 on the USA based systems to see if it resets to Euro. So far I guess we have 2 cases - Yes ?

As per an earlier post, I updated both my US based cars w/ v28 and all functions are working fine and still in US mode. Maybe some folks are trying to do the update twice with the same version or doing it a second time w/ an older version? Doing it a second time with either the same version or and older version will throw your nav into Euro mode.

Just thought I would share a discovery with you all ...

\V_2\RR\0101\BMWC01S\app_sw\tioarch.tar seems to contain some config files and some of the options look like the ones some people are desperate for ...

nav_gd.tio
----------
[OffroadGuidance]
OffroadGuidanceMode=1
OffroadGuidanceVoiceMessageMode=1

0 being true and 1 being false, hmmm I wonder ...

Regards,

Odia.

So these are the functions that are enabled on the range rover nav system... Hmm... (btw, RR uses a MkIII nav comp)

So we could all eventually have off-road navigation too?

Don't know where you're hailing from, but the 2007.1 maps dvd that have been posted on here so far is the North American 2007.1 High version.

If that the version you need.. Do a search on 2007.1 and I'm sure you'll find it.

There is one exception to this rule that we know about. It involves replacing the voice prompt(s) with a different language. i.e switch the USA voice to a English voice, etc. You can do this with the same version you have already installed. However, even when you do this ... it will not reset the system and take it out of USA mode.

You are correct however if you downgrade the firmware version. In all cases this does revert the Nav computer to the default region which appears to be the so called Euro mode.
