So……..I’ve had a look at the brochure descriptions of the standard Discovery Media and the Discover Nav, and unless I’m missing something obvious, I’ve concluded that you don’t get much for an additional £1,600 outlay if you opt to upgrade to the Discover Nav Pro.
This is the brochure content for the standard Discovery Media player;
10 inch colour-touch screen, provides navigational functionality, branded points of interest, preloaded European navigation data, Speed Limit Display, We Connect Plus provides online access to such information as traffic reports and petrol station and parking locations. The infotainment system also includes a DAB digital radio receiver, MDI (Multi Device Interface) via USB-C connection – compatible products only, music playback from MP3, WMA and AAC files and title and cover art display. Connection for Bluetooth telephone and audio compatible devices 4 are available, along with simultaneous pairing of two compatible mobile devices and SMS functionality – allowing you to read, compose and send SMS messages using the touch-screen display when the vehicle is stationary (compatible Android smartphones only).
and below is the brochure content for the Discovery Nav Pro. Less content included in the brochure for the Nav Pro compared to the standard Discovery Media as the focus seems to be on listing mainly the additional Nav Pro features. I’ve highlighted in bold italics what I think are the additional features you get with the Nav Pro;
Voice activated control system – responds to spoken voice commands for navigation and telephone functions. 10" colour touch-screen control system for navigation and audio functions. Preloaded European navigation data, 3D map view, three calculated routes (Fast, Short, Eco), dynamic guidance via We Connect Plus online traffic information, branded points of interest and Speed Limit Display, We Connect Plus services access providing online access to a range of useful information such as traffic reports and petrol station and parking locations. Includes online navigation software updates, enabling you to download the latest map data.
So for your £1,600 you appear to get voice activated commands for navigation and phone functions, 3D maps, three route options, speed limit display and OTA navigation software updates. That sounds like very poor value to me.
I could find a much better use for £1,600 of my hard earned, so I’d stick with the standard Discovery Media player.
