After now having the car for months and there was nothing on TV again I took the opportunity to sit in the Strad and start fathoming the infotainment system.
Paired my phone, copied over the phone book, paired my phone to the media controller so I can play iTunes library, worked out what all the buttons do, set the clock and cleared all the previous owner info off.
So then I turned to the legendary satnav. As most have commented it's antiquated but if you spend the time and don't rely on 7 didgit postcodes it's actually very good.
So I found the diectory function where you can built a list of satnav places. So I stored my home address and even managed to rename it from the long and lat address and tag a voice command to it, success!
So I thought I would try and stick all the Le Mans places in but when I punch in the long and lat coordinates it will only let me select from within the UK???
So I panned around the map and the whole of Europe is in there and the maps are listed in the Maps section.
I zoomed around France and it looks like outside of The UK I only have major routes.
I have the maps at work that I bought for my last GTS in 2011, do I need to load in the maps before I can use the long and lat function outside of the UK?
Other than this issue I am really pleased with its function.
Oh, what is the latest update for the maps and has anyone got a copy they could lend or burn me a copy?
