Think there are some posts about people retrofitting garmin sat navs where the screen normally goes.
The LR SatNav is generally not well thought of & map updates have not been available for some time.
You will be better off going for TomTom or Garmin.
The LR trip computer is similarly flawed; it seems to understate fuel consumption by between 3 & 1.5 mpg.
There are many 3rd party apps to calculate fuel consumption - I use an Excel spreadsheet.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.

The LR trip computer is accurate but is artificially set to lie to make owners feel better. It can be adjusted to accurately present the painful truth.
