Honestly, besides this problem (major imho), I am very happy with the CD based navigation...
If enough people have this pb, I hope we can get P to fix it (again, not a data update imho).
I am getting no replies in the same thread for the 03 996 which has the same problem...

I remember the data update threads, but again I don't think this is a data problem. It is a malfunction. You guys wanted new data, this could be different. I am this || close from asking then to fix it or replace it by a DVD based system. Would that hold in court?? And that would solve everybody's problem if you have that "bug", just force P to get us DVD based navigation.

Just try explaining the wife that to get somewhere she needs to use the town center, then reinput the whole address when she gets closer to the destination in her $100,000 CTT... Laughable... Maybe I should get her the mini convertible she wants...

i have decided ....
that buying built in nav systems is a suckers game. i have the dvd system on my soon to be lemonaided cayenne, and while i have the latest update, my 400 buck lowrance IMAP500 has both better nav, better data and the updates cost 69 bucks. the porsche approved nav systems costs 4500? has software artifacts in the nav routing, and the updates (from the same company) cost 299.00.
next year the portable navs will let you see weather and traffic (ooops, those are already out), 5 years from now you will be able to get the holographic heads up display that will also warn you of cops, kids running from behind cars and deer by tying in KH-11 sat data to AI intel.
or, you can still be whining to porsche about your 5 year old nav data.
