RNS510 Map Version 2 Corrupted

[Mk6 Golf]

I say VERY annoying.

I have seen exactly that situation, but again only rarely. If you drive perhaps 1 km and try again it usually works. Annoying, but not life threatening.

I must be unlucky then.

I drove 1km, tried again, no luck, I drove 1km, tried again, no luck, I drove 1km, tried again, no luck, I drove 1km, tried again, no luck, I drove 1km, tried again, no luck, I drove 1km, tried again, no luck,.. seems to be a pattern here?

Are you using the disc provided by Dermot? Is that Version 2 or Version 1?

Also, could you not ask a forum member if they would be willing to load their Version 2 (non corrupted) disc onto your unit, provided you can show you OEM disc (to confirm legality and legitimacy of request)?

Maybe this could alleviate some of the issues that are appearing with your Version 1/2 disc.

I'd help you out...but I don't have an RNS.

Hay Steve, can you please clarify the highlighted part of your post. Are you saying I should NOT be asking people to do this? I have not asked anyone to do this so far? Or, did you mean to say "could you ask...". Sorry, maybe I'm just reading it wrong, it is Friday! . Thanks.

EDIT: p.s. btw, I'm still waiting for my dealer to give me my licensed disk.

sorry..bad choice of words.

Should be interpreted as "You could ask a forum member......"

Still not satisfied...

I'm still...

I'm getting the impression, from what I've heard and read, that Maps V2 does have some issues, which are random (and not life threatening) and probably very hard to fix, ergo why my dealer probably took the easy path and back-installed Maps V1 instead of trying to trouble shoot Maps V2 with Volkswagen Australia.

Who really knows... I wish someone out there could tell us EXACTLY what the Maps V2 issues are. Anyway, as a customer of a new car, isn't this problem for the dealer and Volkswagen Australia. I don't see why I should be the one to be penalised with old map data just because there are some issues (what ever they are) with Maps V2 which (for reasons unknown) no one seems to have wanted to fix!!

"No Route Recommendations for this Destination".
I'm getting that dumb annoying message in my Tiguan.

Car has been to the dealer 3 times already and every time it stays there for a whole day!!.

VW service has no clue whats wrong with it. Last time service manager told me he is waiting for a "new disk " from Germany.
That was 2 weeks ago. Still waiting.

By the way i got V2 dvd disc.

Time to

Are you getting this message before the GPS has locked onto a position? I got the same message once before. I waited for the GPS to find it's position and tried again. All worked so I assumed this was why. Haven't had the problem again but i always wait for the GPS to lock on now.

Just a theory not sure if correct though.

My MY09 GT Sport was delivered October 2008 with factory RNS510. It came with a map version 1 DVD, those maps are still loaded. What is the cost of a new map version?

I have upgraded the firmware myself to 2660.
