  GPS navigation

 
The GPS navigation noted as being a guaranteed feature in certain of the Renault short-term lease vehicles is compatible with Renault-licensed software only; software bought on the open market will not work with the system.

All the Nissan models in the short-term leasing program come loaded with GPS navigation software featuring high resolution maps covering the entirety of Europe.

In the Clio automatic there is a navigation system but it is not capable of supporting map software; it only presents oral directions (in French, English and Spanish) and simple graphical pointers which indicate where to turn.

All the other GPS-enhanced vehicles in the Renault short-term leasing program are equipped with high resolution maps covering France, plus low resolution maps (i.e. showing primary and secondary roads) covering the rest of Europe, plus the French "Infotraffic" system that presents timely reports about traffic conditions, road construction and such.

Regardless of its scale of coverage, the software does include English and Spanish audio and visual in addition to French.

Via IdeaMerge you can order from Renault particular software CDs to enhance the low-resolution maps noted above. Each such addendum CD carries a hefty AUD260 pricetag; yet you will own such CD outright and may be able to sell it (via Ebay, say) after your lease. The available CDs are the following:

  • Austria/Switzerland
  • Belgium/Netherlands/Luxembourg (i.e. BeNeLux)
  • British Isles (i.e. including Ireland)
  • Eastern Europe (Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic, Slovenia)
  • Germany
  • Italy
  • Scandinavia (Finland, Norway Sweden)
  • Spain/Portugal
  • Switzerland (see Austria/Switzerland)
