Is anyone here using the updates provided at GPS Navigation System | HERE | Navigation.com ?

Good, bad, indifferent experiences?

Thanks in advance.

For anyone who may be interested...

I did the updates last night on both cars. Took a few minutes per vehicle. In the update tool (on the Mac) I elected to only download the Aus/NZ update package - I can't see either of my vehicles being used abroad during my period of ownership

Total size of the update package was ~800MB on the SD card. My wifes Passat (B8 Comfortline) was V 2016, my Alltrack Wolfsburg was V2017, however the update still applied as the software on the card was newer than what was on the vehicle.

No differences noticed thus far, but I am now happy to know that latest map data is applied to both vehicles.

Such a simple process (THANK YOU VW!) that my intention at this stage is to perform the update on the 6-monthly release cycle of the updated software versions.

Thanks for your help / guidance and assistance guys!!!

All sorted

The update on the car took only 25mins to do the full 27.1GB update for the "ROW" updated.

My Version Information is as follows;

VO39598O1EDOO65 ROW 2017/2018 Australia 2017/2018 New Zealand 2017/2018

All works without fault!

Great thread. Just updated 2015/2016 to 2017/18 on the B8 Passat.

serviced last week and just assumed they would do the update....

I did this with by Wolfsberg 2017 passat. I now believe that the speed limits change for schools zones (Australia) at the required times. (7.30-9am) Have only seen it with the ones where there are the actual lights installed (as the sign) so far. Very cool.

You mean for traffic sign recon or normal map sings? For the school zone

[Skoda729]

I don't have traffic sign recognition, I don't think. It must be in the maps.

Can this be done on the 206tsi?
I don't think the 206 uses an SD card, I looked for one and it looks like an empty slot.

[doc_777]

You need to supply your own card. The maps are stored on internal storage once you upload them to the system via the SD card. Both slots work (if you vehicle is equipped with two in the glove compartment) - doesn't matter which one you use.

Ok thanks, my previous golf had the maps on a card already in the slot.

Just checked to see if there are any updates, however it still states May 2017 Map Release; VW_APAC_Pro_MIB2_New

[doc_777]

New update should be out in mid-December from what I understand
