Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

First, kudos to Casey and Tischer. I had a minor nav issue and they quickly found what was wrong. This is not a complaint but I was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. Obviously roads change or construction happens all the time. A piece of highway on the way to my Porsche Dealer was recently moved several hundred yards. I was using the Nav ( PCM 2.1) and it said "off-road". The cursor was way off the map and kept getting farther off the map. Took it to the dealer and they said it was not a fault. No error - The cause was multiple digitalization errors on previously traveled stretch. Of course that's true because new road = road not on the map. While traveling, it never recovered. Now switch to my Magellan. Same road, cursor follows off map and just locks right back on to the new road. No issues. I'm not trying to compare aftermarket GPS to OEM GPS because IMO it's no contest from a functionality POV. Aftermarket always wins, better technology, much cheaper ... for the price of the PCM I could have bought 5 top of the line Garmins. But the downside is it's not integrated and you got to put it up, take it down, etc when using it. I assume the solution is to buy the latest Porsche map DVD but I'm guessing its $300 or more. Its costs ~$100 to update the Magallen. So questions: Anyone encounter this error, that is, going off road and not recovering? It does recover if you turn it off, select a new destination on a street on its DVD. How much does a new DVD cost and is there an updated DVD since 2006? I would be very irritated if driving across country encountering new construction this error kept popping up. Now I see new Porsches ONLY sells the extended Navigation. I presume the extended navigation handles the "off road" correctly and relocks you back onto the road w/out turning it on/off and w/out being on a road on the DVD. Anyone know what Porsche is only selling the extended Nav in new cars? Why sell only the extended Nav? Finally, I noticed if I want to find something, like Staples, I got to go through categories to find it. Anyone know why its designed that way? Again, with the aftermarket GPS you just type in a POI and it tells you the closest one. No need to jump through hoops. I'm not criticizing the unit. It works however it works. Just trying to understand "why" it works the way it works when aftermarket units "work better" (and are cheaper). I probably already know the answer for this ... You want steak, go to a steak place, not a fish house. You want good a good GPS, go to a good GPS builder, not a car maker. (just guessing).
