Latest map update

Thanks for the info. Should only take me about 5 mins to download the file but just wondered how long the car needs to be switched on for and do the maps look different, as I can’t stand the current ones.

But if only 40 mins of car on then might give it a go.

Its just map data.... they won't look any different...

Shame. Yes completed, didn’t take long, 4 mins to download and about 20 to extract.

Would the dealer update this when you take your car in for a service if its under 3 years old or is that optimistic?

Optimistic. In my experience it never happened despite annual servicing for three years. That was across  two different dealers.

Probably not, just do it yourself...

It's only downloading a zip, extracting it and copying the maps on to the SD card.

I've updated mine twice every year since i've had the car, still use Waze though.

Ok just got back to look at this and the file for MIB1 is 25GB and the map files are all too big for the 8GB card they seem to have changed the structure of the map data so can't put it on?

Even Discovery Care only downloads a file just over 7GB but as usual it will not complete.

Bundle 6 fits onto the standard 16gb card that I have in my car.... seems the best compromise of countries, although I have the latest update it still missed many of the 'new' HS2 roundabouts that I cam across last week when I was around Oxford.

My dealer did, Hadwins. Waited 30mins more for them to do it at my service. Or so they say, the version number doesn't look up to date iirc.

I have been updating my maps since 2016, but the summer release was never this late!
What is going on?
Besides, now you have to register; no simple download as in the past.
