Have just driven my 3.6L Premium across the country and the satnav calculated 3200km of the 3800km at 60kph. Is there something I can do about this as it makes the satnav useless for trip planning as timings for rest stops and layovers cannot be planned using the in car system. I reverted bag to a hard copy map and, when available google maps on my iPad.
The current software does not see the Eyre and other major highways as A Class roads. The Eyre is very long, very straight and good condition. A Subaru issue or a Whereis issue.

I would suspect WhereIs - how new are the maps?

The maps came with the new car 6 months ago.

The Satellite Navigation and bluetooth over the last 2 years (Kenwood) are shit either get over it or sell the car
A $55 Aldi unit is as good

Go to options and check out the version and let us all know.. If it is old go back to Subaru and ask for an upgrade FREE

Budda, not very helpful. About as helpful as the Suby dealer I spoke to today.
The version is 2011 v1 with the latest map release. Good for around the city but not much chop for a long haul and for those who are interested the 3.6 was brilliant across the Nullabor and the Eyesight system is a winner.
The old version and old maps in my B Spec did not have this problem.
