Kenwood Navigation DVD v 1.1

I know that DVD navigation is not yet available on Legacy's and Outback's in America but... am I the only European out here?

Talking about the rest of the world (a little of topic :-) did you know that Switzerland is also called Subaruland? I was told we have the highest Subarus/resident ratio worldwide. I guess the combination of purchasing power, mountainous surrounding and snowy winters are the main causes.

No, you're not - soothing, isn't it?

I would appreciate, if someone can answer your question about a new navigation DVD; I never asked 'cause most areas I went through were unchanged since 2003 (in Germany), aside from some newly-built bypass roads that look like being off-road on the display :-) Fantastic, that navigation never falters in those cases.

I really like TMC. Having had chosen a route I saw TMC in full action a couple of weeks ago in Hamburg, where it proposed an alternate route and said how many more kilometers that would cost. I accepted and saw the traffic jam from above (a bridge) and was directed some minutes later to the next autobahn, great!

Just having an overview of heavy traffic in a city without a route programmed is nice, too.

Yes :-), thanks for the reply. Nobody else around me has bougth that same car. Out here and I guess in Germany even more, most go for Audi Avant A4 or A6.

About that new DVD, what I am going to try and post the result in here to make a copy of the one I currently have. A piece of plastic valued over =80450 definitely can use an offline backup. I will post the result in here.

What I am most interested in are the POIs, such as parkings and hotels. Those keep changing, obviously much more often that roads.

The Subaru dealer I talked to told me that TMC is not useful at all in Switzerland. Glad to hear this system works for you. As the traffic is not so bad over here and as my driving takes place mostly on weekends, I get through :-)

I looked for Audi A4 (Sportback) first - no, Volvo V50 was the first model I was interested in - but never looking for all-wheel-drive. The Volvo was visibly lacking in qualitiy of the interior and Audi was too much for my budget with my wishlist full of extras that were already all integrated into the Subaru Legacy model I finally bought in Autumn. Seen only three other Legacy wagons on the road since... seems there is the best chance driving in the hills (Harz) :) Let's hear for the Swiss and German Subaru owners!

Isn't it double layered (never looked myself)?

... and gas stations!

It is double layered. Not having a double layered DVD-R at hand I made an image on the hard disk and it takes 6.72 GB.
