V6 Australia Maps

[Parkesy]

FJ Steves V6 iso fixed my issues...

So looks like there are 2 different V6 ISO's floating around, identical size, one is bad and gives the symptoms I explained (missing road names, missing textures when zoomed in etc..) one is good and looks identical to v5 (But i guess more up to date roads etc..)

The way to tell if you have good or bad is to check the hash of the ISO file you downloaded.. If you don't know how to calculate the MD5 sum of your iso, download HashTab for windows and then right click the file, properties and check the Hash tab, it will calculate the MD5...

Bad ISO
RNS510V6Maps.iso
677 MB (710,770,688 bytes)
MD5: 8A9F7D1F4F464CBCDCF7C9FC7337214E

Good ISO
RNS510V6Maps.iso
677 MB (710,770,688 bytes)
MD5: 6E344E4E1EC7923A34D54E90CB330B7C

Thanks to everyone for your help, especially FJ Steve for his ISO.

Fantastic result. Maps working beautifully for me too now, although haven't had a chance to try Nav yet. Looks like I was working with the bad ISO originally also.

Thanks for everyone's feedback, especially to FJ Steve and you Ferni. Great to find such cluey and helpful people on this forum.

With regard to my prev post I would like to think that as the VW group is about the 3rd biggest manufacturer in the world they could spend a bit more getting the VW stuff to a better standard. Dont see the same complaints about Audi stuff so why do we have to put up with second best.

Same with DSG boxes Seems the Audi and other brands in the group are Ok but the 7 sp in VW has endless problems

Hold the setup button in until screen changes to 3 lines with FM....... AM......... And Version information Press that and the info is there
If not its old firmware. My unit was about 8 months older than the car it had 2760 in it and was a C unit

There is a lot more than country Victoria not covered and yelling wont do any good and they are unable to be customised.

Hopefully you can find your way around your local area without a map LOL.

Lastly I would never use my home as a flagged address. The car gets stolen and they know where to go to clean the house out .
As the unit is deficient in being able to do a reversed trip there is not much point

Thanks, HB, did that this morning, but in my rush to park and get to train I must have scribbled down some numbers wrong. And I *only* got the numbers

One I have says "5238" and the other, which I'd swear had something with "map" in front of it says "7920". Looking at the firmware sticky, I should have seen something with a "4" in front, but may have looked at wrong lines. However, is that an up do date version for the map data?

Cheers!

Here you go the top line is the model number Mine is actually a C but shows up as a D after upgrading.

The 4120 is the latest firmware and the 7920 is the latest maps

Older firmware can be 2760 or 3820 or 4020

Huh, I would have sworn it's the line that says 4020 on your photos is the one that says 5238 on mine. Will check again later.

What's also befuddling is that, if Sensis is the map data provider, why our address is unknown. I just check Sensis and we're in their database.

There are many locations, even in the major cities, that the Sensis system can't locate.
Opposite us, there's an entire street that can't be found — and it's been there 100+ years.
Instead of laying off 100's of staff, Sensis ought to be using them to make some of their half-baked products work.

What date is your Sensis database

The one in our units is early 2012 I believe 4020 ?????? mine says 4120 LOL

Yes, but as I said, I *went* to Sensis, searched for our address and we are in their database. So, their online DB and what they put into VW's Nav are out of sync.

In fact, yesterday we went from one unknown address to another - our own and another one near Hume. Joys of living in rural Australia.

As I just said the map database is over a year out of date If not more

Well, if our road isn't in it they must be out of date by about 3 decades!

Seems he may be up to date with everything. FW is 5238 and maps version is 7920 (V6 maps)

i went to Batemans bay via Kangaroo valley on thursday and the V6 map lost its way half way down the valley,i was driving through the tree tops and the RNS told me to make a U turn and go back, then i saw the road coming back to the screen on a sharp bend gee i was back onto the road ,
Has any one else had a simular problem?

[FJ Steve]

that'd be GPS satellite lock...it lost the 'feed'
