Maps and POIs for Discover Media

[jetz427]

So is it an absolute dead end for those of us with V1?

Starting to look that way — all I can get is "It's being worked on" but nothing ever shows up.

I have V2 and I don't think we are any closer. The fix will hopefully cover all versions

Quicker update process

Hi Guys
I just successfully updated the Map on my 2014 GTI Performance, Version 2, from 0027 2014 Map to this new 0031 2015 Map.
Thanks to all who helped with this.
The download can take a while, and the extract and update process also can be a bit long, and I have a suggestion that worked for me:
After the download open the .7z zip file and extract ONLY the DBInfo.txt file and the aus folder found inside the markets folder. I put the download and the extracts in a new folder on my laptop. Then backup (copy) your complete old SD card info into a new backup folder, this step will take a little while. Then delete the old DBInfo.txt file and all the folders inside the markets folder on the SD card (Keep the markets folder). Now copy the NEW DBInfo.txt file to the root of the SD card (meaning Not inside a folder) and the NEW aus folder needs to be copied inside the markets folder.
This way is quicker because all the unnecessary country map folders are not copied. I don't think I will ever take my GTI to countries like India or Asia
Regards
Mike

. Looks like the only option for us V1 peeps is jku and their discovery pro packages.

Hi,

I have successfully completed the update following both the OP's instructions along with Highcam's streamlined suggestions above. Worked perfectly and I found Highcam's suggestion saved a fair bit of time. Thanks very much to both.

Cheers

Using the car sat nav now more instead of phone in a new R and a road sign came up under the speed limit sign. It is a red car and a black car side by side. I have googled this too much but now obsessed with finding out what this means if there is a list anywhere of symbols. Any idea? and
Is there any traffic service operating with these cars in Australia?

Like this? It means no overtaking in Europe.

Just picked up the new 92TSI with the 6.5" discovery MIB II, maps are now V3 (3G0 919 866 K). Has a quick look with VCDS but yet to find out if traffic signs work, also interested in this with the Audi's system.

[Godspeed]

Yes! That is it. Whew, can now get to worrying over some other trivia~! Thank you very much for the response turtle.

Turtle: Hi
I was surprised to hear that this facility was working in Australia. The "Traffic sign" recognition is not part of the SATNAV unit (as I understand), it's a function of the driver assist facility and specifically, the front looking camera that is positioned in front of the rear vision mirror (VW call it R242).

I had first thought that the picture that you posted would just be a result of the front camera picking up the flow of vehicles in adjacent lanes. When did Australia start using the "red filter" system for traffic sign recognition?

Don,
I don't believe it has anything to do with camera's picking up signs, I think its just programmed into the map in the same way the speed zones are (they also show up on the map).

I don't have the Driver Assist package on my GTI however I still get speed sign show up on the map when driving (using the old map, havn't had a chace to update it yet). Happy to be corrected.
