Again ... refer to post #28

Basically, V4 map is actually a 2009 Q4 compilation!

So is old as!!!

Post 28 states that its a 2010 update
v4 disc: name CD_7360, 470MB, most files dated around 27/10/2010

So?

Under the label "db" it says 2009 Q4.

27/10/2010 is more like when the lazy @$$ got around to finishing compiling the files!

Is anyone a bit of a writer? Want to draft up a letter that we can all use to send to our respective manufacturer's Aus management?
If we flood them with complaints maybe they'll take notice...

Yes ... I should caveat my last statement: (unless you're from boganville or a recently converted life long Falcondore owner)!

BTW, it's a her!

Anyone know where the 28xx series firmware can be downloaded? I can't find it in the usual places...
I'm going to go back to where I can use the stock POIs and will add my own via ye olde ISO method. But want to at least be running current production firmware.

Have now reverted to 2760 with v4 maps and a test sample of custom POIs added to the ISO. Added all fixed cameras as well as school zones in NSW. Will see how I go with those and see if its worth adding any other categories.

What sort of categories do people find useful? There seem to be a whole heap of business specific categories as well as the usual recreation stuff like boat ramps etc but I'm not sure how useful any of those would be when these days you can look them up on your smartphone and punch the address into your GPS...

Thought this might interest you guys.... There is a guy selling the V4 updates on ebay.

RNS510 V4 Australia NZ Maps update Volkswagen Skoda | eBay

It says $40, but a mate of mine offered $35 and it was accepted. He tested it out today and it was all good, BUT it is a COPY and not original.

That's probably because it's costed him nothing to begin with!

Very brazen flogging off copies on eBay!

I did the same — offered $35 gross (no postage) and it's said to be on its way. Don't expect the ad to be up for long...

I have a copy and may need some VAG-COM help when my RNS510 arrives next week

this v4 'update' must be legit, as whereis sensis now states on their website that there is an v16 map update.
so:-
v3 (vw) = V16 (sensis)
v4 (vw) = V16 DX (sensis)

sensis wants $199 for the update!!
at $40 for the ebay version, dats a bargain!!

This reminds me of the pirated software & movie shops in HK.
Pay up front at the store, they then make the copies and meet you at the back alley for pickup.

I think you will find this link is for the CD version for the older RNS-2 Sat Navs you had in the early Golf V, not much good for the RNS510 as they are from a different OEM.

Well, it's advertised as being for the RNS510 and several people have used it...
