Review
Satellite navigation is standard equipment on the SVX and optional on other models. This unit is known as "Land Rover Personal Travel Assistant" and its use and operation are covered in a separate manual supplied with the vehicle.
The Personal Travel Assistant navigation system is a comprehensive navigation system that supports the driver by suggesting a route to the selected destination. The map and turn-by-turn directions are displayed on the touchscreen, complemented by voice prompts.
The Personal Travel Assistant system also comes with additional features that can be accessed via the Tools menu:
- media player
- image viewing function
- calculator
- language guide
- currency converter
- unit converter
WARNING: In the interests of road safety, only use the system, change settings, and view messages when it is safe to do so.
The Personal Travel Assistant system must be able to find satellite signals to work. The strength of these signals may vary depending on the location. The presence of tall buildings or trees can affect the signal strength. When a strong signal is received, the bars in the upper left corner of the main menu are green; when the signal quality deteriorates, the bars turn red or transparent with a red "x" appearing on the bars.
Description
The SVX is fitted with a Garmin™ satellite navigation unit with Land Rover specific software. The unit is self contained with its own internal battery. Connections to the vehicle wiring harness provide connection to an external speaker and power to charge the internal battery and power the unit when connected to the vehicle.
The unit uses a separate external speaker for voice commands and audio output. The speaker is located under the central air vent behind the instrument panel on the driver's side. However, the unit also has its own internal speaker, allowing the unit to be used outside the vehicle.
The unit can be turned on using the spring-loaded switch on the top of the unit. To turn the unit on, push the switch to the left. To turn the unit off, push the switch to the left again. The unit can be locked to prevent unauthorized operation by moving the switch on the top of the unit to the right.
The satellite navigation unit is mounted on a bracket that is secured to the top of the instrument panel with two bolts. The bracket has a holder with a connector that allows the unit to be secured and also connected to the vehicle's electrical system and to the navigation system speaker. The holder is mounted on a ball head that allows the unit to be adjusted vertically and horizontally so that it can be turned towards the passenger or driver's seat. The unit is fixed to the bracket and can be released by pressing the latch on the bottom of the holder, tilting the top of the unit forward and removing the unit from its support.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Method of resolution |
| Unable to receive satellite signals | Make sure the vehicle with the unit is not in a closed garage or covered parking lot, and is located away from tall buildings and trees. Stop the vehicle for a few seconds so that the unit can establish a connection with the satellite. |
| The unit does not charge in the car | The unit will charge if the temperature is between 0 and 45°. If the temperature is above or below this range, if the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, or if the unit is in a high temperature environment, the unit's battery will not charge. |
| How to erase all user data | Keep your finger on the bottom corner of the touch screen and turn on the unit. Continue pressing the corner of the touch screen until a message appears. Click on 'Yes' to erase all user data. |
| The block is blocked or frozen | If the touch screen stops working, turn the unit off and then on again. If this does not solve the problem, slide the power on/off switch to the left and hold it for 8 seconds. The unit will turn off. Turn the unit on again and it will work normally. |
| The touch screen does not respond to touch | Turn the unit off and then on again. Slide the on/off switch to the right (lock position). Hold your finger on the touch screen for about 30 seconds until the calibration screen appears. Follow the on-screen instructions. |
| Battery charge indication seems inaccurate | Allow the unit to discharge completely. Then fully charge the unit without interrupting the charging cycle. |
