Boxster from out of town

[RavenFan_94]

My navi equipped car is coming to Baltimore/Washington from upstate New York. I have never owned a car with navigation and am curious about the data required to make the navi work.

On my boat, I purchased a disc which included local maps/charts. Do I need to do the same for the car?

Thanks

I'm not exactly sure how the Porsche nav works, but most newer nav systems use a DVD disc which contains the entire US (for us folks in America...don't know how Europe is) along with hotel, points of interest, eating establishments, etc. Older navs used a gang of CD discs.

Actually you can save a bunch of cash by going to radio shack and buying some rabbit ears.

Next, you'll need a couple of large pieces of aluminum foil... :dance: :dance: :dance:

What navigation system do you have? Is it a factory one on a Boxster or something else like aftermarket.

The navi system should've come with the CD's or DVD's you need for use in the US. Depending on how old it is there are updates that you could probably purchase from the manufacturer.

I have the traffic pro, and it came with 2 cd's one for east coast and one for west coast. my navi system will ask for the cd when it needs it while you are driving or i can just keep it in the deck.

Good Luck,

Rabbit ears comment is still puzzling me.

It is an 01 S with factory Nav. Thanks.

Many NAV systems work off GPS and not DVD... rabbit ears and foil for antennae. Get it now?
