New Nav map available in Skoda update portal

[Jondalar]

Just checked the update portal, saying next update due June, however a few days ago I looked and thought I saw that the new map was available, was at work so couldn't download it...

I downloaded a few days back and it was still the 2017 version thats been there for a few months now.

Just checked (Mk3 Octavia May 2016) and I get the following

• Further update of GPS data will be in November

Hmm that's weird, mine now says no update until November yet earlier today said update in June. The version listed is still the same. I have ROW 2017 downloaded last November, does anyone know if this is different to MRM 2017?

Cheers,
Karl

In November 2016 I downloaded MRM 2017 and installed it. Since then the portal kept saying next update was in May 2017.
On 30 May 2017 the portal changed to say MRM 2017 was available for downloading with the next update in November. What the heck, so I downloaded this one and the file size is identical to the MRM 2017 that I downloaded back in November 2016.
As the file size is the same as the November file, I assume it will be identical so I haven't bothered installing it at this stage.

Well I had some download quota left for the month so downloaded and installed, despite saying it's MRM2017 once installed in my Car is says it's ROW2017 the same as before, although the car did let the update happen so perhaps something is different. (Assuming it's smart enough to refuse to update to the existing version)

Had mine updated by the dealer about a month ago, system in car now says ROW2017, however the update portal lists ROW2015 for download, but it no longer says that the subscription has expired, Anyone else experience this?

Hi mate - Did the dealership charge you for the update? I was just told by the dealership that they have an unlock key and map update available and it will cost $190 to get the device unlocked and map updated. Which I think is absolutely ridiculous. Apparently, after this the map can be updated via the portal.

Mine's at the dealers at the moment and they were told to update it from the portal. Took me 20 minutes to explain that the update in the portal is a 2013 map. I'm wondering if anyone know what they are doing.

They didn't charge to do the update

If it lets you do the update, then the maps are different, note down which version it is and I can tell you what I downloaded and installed about 2 weeks ago. Bet they are different.

I just checked the Update portal and now there is MRM 2017/2018 available for download. I will download it overnight.

Does it download for you? Mine errors out straight away with a file not found.

My pc decided to reset at 1.00am so I had to restart it this morning. It is downloading ok so far.
