Maps and POIs for Discover Media

[Idle]

Because, like almost everything else in the industry, maps are tendered for, and since they're not obviously safety-related, don't affect vehicle life or performance and are virtually impossible to lodge a warranty claim on, what you get will be the cheapest on offer.

I had the voice "updated" (reluctantly, the service guy "hadn't heard of it") on mine at the last service and the invoice noted that it had been done (with a disclaimer that suggested I mightn't like it,) and they were more-or-less correct — some things improved, others got worse.

After nearly three years of dealer duckshoving I've finally contrived to update the original maps and yes, the latest, (officially dated May 2016,) whilst it has some changes is far from up-to-date.

If Google et al can do it?

Latest maps do seem to have more streets in my immediate area.

Also, the 'Split View' may have more/different options. Can't say for sure as I don't use VW Nav often (use Apple Maps on CarPlay, though if I could use Google Maps, I would...).

OK for those having trouble navigating the navigation.com website, which someone seems to have specifically left Australia out of (I'm sure on purpose), here are some tested links. Note that these maps have all been tested on a 2015 Golf with the Discover Media 5.8" (Gen 1) unit.

(I also noticed that the navigation.com website is very slow. An hr to download some of the zip files on 100mbit fibre).

Im sure it would but there is one that has been made up on here and costs $20.

Was free but because of abuse of privilege it no longer is.

Oh yeah Im probably in the wrong model thread again LOL

A search on the subject in this thread would possibly find it though

Correct that's for the previous RNS units, not MIB. There is a different procedure and format for the new units. It's in another thread in the Mk7 section.

Hey K, yours is the one I tried to follow but it didn't work. I'm beginning to think I'm mentally challenged. Spent the best part of a whole afternoon to no avail.
I really need it on video.Thanks anyway.

So I just had my 15,000 service on MY15 GTI Performance. I asked the dealer to check for any Firmware or Navigation Software updates - I know that this $150 service is complimentary as part of my service. I was told that there was a navigation update as per technical bulletin and this was uploaded onto my MIB1 system.

When I checked it myself I found that I had - 5G0919866AM0034 ROW 2016 - which I loaded onto my MIB1 last year, just after I purchased the car. It doesn't look like the dealer has upload the latest version of Maps as they claimed to have done!

Can someone please advise the part number of the latest version that I should have? I think I need to have a chat to the dealer... By the way this is an MIB1 with a V3 card.

Anyone using this? Any tips or tricks I need to know?

This will be the first lot of POI I'd be adding to my MY16 Golf, thanks
