I have professional navigation and I have just bought a new navigation DVD and want to make a backup just in case.

Am I right in thinking that the navigation system runs faster when used with DVD+R discs when compared to DVD-R discs?

Not necessarily but on some systems its does while on others it makes no difference.

I am using a backup dvd and the original is in my Office desk resting. Yep! it is good idea to make a backup and use it on your car.
