V6 Australia Maps

[jameshero]

Well everyone don't bother going to Epping vw in Victoria got the normal level of customer service from vw, 20 min wait as the parts guy was missing action only to check that they don't have any disc can't even order one ...

Went in today and asked for the disc, they said they could sell it for $500 or load it on for me for free, took 15 min, talk to the service guys, not the spare parts guy.

Re: V6 Australia Maps

Found a bunch more roads that map thinks are 50kms/h when in fact they are 80. Resulted in more misdirection which I ignored, which meant I arrived half an hour earlier than anticipated. Port stephens area of nsw.
As I didn't drive here with earlier maps I can't tell if this is newly introduced errors...

There is a setting where you can adjust the average speed used for calculations (Low Med High), it might help a little?
It'll be fighting against the defined speed though.

Also come on lads, make an .iso

Re: V6 Australia Maps

Changing the trip speed can't alter the route calculation if roads have incorrect details. Only the arrival time.
When the roads have correct details the arrival time isn't too bad on country roads ie when no traffic considerations.

I injected aussietigs latest POI file into the CD before installing it in the car so I wouldn't know. The graphics look a bit sharper/nicer, and it'll be interesting to see if the speed limit data on freeways is fixed and if the zoom out bug has been resolved.

Hasn't fixed the zoom. My first RNS never had the problem with zoom. The second one was fine for a week then started to change randomly. Yesterday it went to 2k from turning off at 75m

I made a ISO file but google wont let me load it. Not sure if its the file or google. I've done all my ISO like this and they work normally.

try megaupload
Im sure they allow uploads up to a gig in size

Unless the US Feds have changed their mind in the last few days, megaupload no longer exists as a file storage.

The Box is better....5Gb+ online free storage and file sharing capability

The problem is most likely the size of the ISO - dual layer DVD will be 7+GB and that won't fit on any of the free upload servers. Even a single layer at 4.7GB may cause issues since most file servers have a single file size limit on top of overall size (e.g. any one file must be <2GB).

Google Drive is IMO superior to either options above at the moment (5GB space as well). In typical Google fashion it arrived late and was initially missing some functions but eventually overtook its competitors. If you haven't tried it yet definitely take a look, I have Dropbox and I prefer Google Drive - it's got a desktop client too.

There is now an interesting new contender in the market closer to home though, www.mega.co.nz I believe offers 50GB space and AFAIK unlimited single file size.

As for megaupload.. I don't think there will be much room left for freemium speed-throttled file servers these days. But, just FYI mega.co.nz is the successor to megaupload

Australia's maps fit on a CD-R (< 700mb).


Why anyone uploads files that make you wait a minute before being allowed to download at a reduce rate and not download multiple items at once is beyond me - there are better services out there.

why are you referring to a Dual Layer .iso? It has nothing to do with V6 maps and will confuse many people who rely on threads like this for good, honest, simple and non-confusing information.

Ryan is correct. V6 Aus/NZ maps fit onto a CD-R. CD-R is a much better, stable and less troublesome environment/media for the laser head of the RNS. DVD-R should only be used as a last resort or no other viable option. The media/material thickness of a DVD-R is significantly thicker than a CD-R and makes the laser assembly work significantly harder, possibly reducing the working life of the head.
