Hi does anyone know which maps a 2007 Saab (built in unit) has. I've been told BMW ones will work. the reason i ask is because i want to buy the most upto date maps and Saab dont update. TomTom on it would be great.

You may be able to find the answer if you peruse the on-line map shops of TeleAtlas and Navteq. One of those is likely to be the map provider for Saab.

A quick check reveals it's Navteq, see here.

No, you would need the SAAB disk or one known to be compatible. But I would expect Navteq to be selling the very latest map data regardless of system.

Hi Heysham

Did you make any progress with getting maps for your Saab? I have just bought a 2007 Saab 9-3 with factory fit touch screen satnav / CD changer (Infotainment Plus?) and would like to get some more up-to-date maps.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Even a hint of which manufacturer makes the Saab navigation would be good.

Thanks
