Hi

Can any one tell me if you have the Business Sat Nav system, will a professional DVD work in the business systems ?

Reason is I have a 2005-1 DVD Business version and want to upgrade my maps, I can see on EBay UK that people are offering Prof 2006-2 for around ?50 but will it work.

Will the Prof version just show the maps like on the business or not ?

Or Can some one tell me where you can get the business version cheaper than ?200+ from a main dealer

Thanks

I can not answer your query here - however I'd be suspicous of the DVD price vis-a-vis the reason for this.

I recall, from memory, (do a search on the forum), that 2006-2 DVD's are missing the data files for UK post codes, this was an error made by the author and put right by a later release (2007-1.) As you mention the price in UK currency I'm assuming your from the UK, hence my comment here.

That said as you have business nav this may not be an issue (I'm not sure on business nav features re post codes.)

Thanks all for your replys.
I phone my local dealer today and they confirmed that the prof dose not work in the business system.
The cost of a new Busines DVD 2007-1 issue would be ?230 British pounds around ?340 Euro.

What they could not tell me if the 7 digit UK post code was included in the update from my 2005-1 version
Does any one have this issue or know if it supports 7 digit UK post codes ?

Thanks

Full UK post codes are not supported in 2007-01. :thumbsdown:
