Useless FACT

The delusive NAVTEQ navigation system ads may drive you into serious troubles.

About half a year ago I have bought a new DVD navigation system for Land Rover/Range Rover from NAVTEQ company. Though I had already a DVD navigation for Western Europe in my car, I fell prey to its ads that this new disc contained navigation for many East European countries, including Moldova and Ukraine.



A few weeks ago I made a car trip through those two countries. The extent of my disappointment with the NAVTEQ navigation in Ukraine and Moldova is bordering with a complete anger about the way some of those companies are fooling the customers. Why mentioning two whole countries, if there were only a few main roads in the system? One might get into serious troubles in those countries if he�d have been blindly guided only by such an incomplete navigation. I lost my way a few times in Ukraine, so I had to apply to the old fashioned paper maps and follow the car�s compass for general directions. A few precious hours thrown out of the window, not mentioning the cost of the DVD itself.



I hope writing the truth about this product would help other potential buyers avoid my mistake and so far stay away from this unfairly marketed service.
