V6 Australia Maps

[notflyingscot]

Looking a bit better this morning. Selected Maps and seeing quite a few adjacent street names. Got to go to airport later today so I'll give Maps and Navigation a go and see how they look. Fingers crossed!

Having just crossed Sydney and back and NO street names displayed at all I obviously still have an issue. Tried reloading the disk I used yesterday however machine just accepts the disk and no sign of anything happening at all.
Inclined to download the V5 file posted here on the forum and just go back to version I had. If I find that works like it used to I might try the V6 file again later.

Try using the 2D mode or the 3D mode it should show the streets ,

Ian, was trying both 2D and 3D views at various times throughout the trip and nothing coming up. I've gone he back to V5 / 7679 for the time being. Quick drive around the local suburb on both Map and Navigation now shows quite a lot of street names. When I get time I may try and burn a fresh V6 image and start over again. From perusing various threads it certainly seems to be quite a common problem unfortunately.

The unit will NOT reload the SAME version as you have found out but will revert to V5 and then allow you to upgrade again.


I compared both and they were pretty much the same but V6 3D doesn't show quite as many streets as V5

No one has worked out why, as far as I know

You've twisted my arm to try again Hillbilly. I'll make sure to use that link you included. Glad to see I can go back to V5 without any drama. I was just a bit worried I might 'brick' what had been a perfectly working unit albeit with an out of date map!

Don't worry about out of date maps Even V6 is about 18 months behind LOL

Loaded the file you suggested and seems acceptable. See what you mean about street names, 2D v 3D. Strange.
Another SatNav newbie question. Can I load fixed speed camera locations and if so do you get some sort of pre warning of their location either in Map or Navigation mode or both?
Where do I obtain the speed camera file if one exits and how is it installed?

Look for personal POI and, no, it doesn't give warning

There is a POI file early in the thread with instructions on how to load it Read away from page 1
