The system allows the driver to choose the desired route using minor or major roads or motorways and the quickest or shortest route. Directions to hospitals, museums, monuments and hotels are also available. The computer uses map information stored on a digital versatile disc (DVD)-ROM to determine the best route for the journey and provide the driver with details of directions and approaching junctions.

The Range Rover navigation system is a MOST based system. The navigation system provide on-road and off-road navigation capabilities with a digital versatile disc (DVD) based map system. The navigation system has the following advantages over a conventional CD based system:
