Visit your Volkswagen Dealer for a Sat Nav Map Update

I * may* have something to do with having South America as your locale (top left)

No, I had Asia Pacific specified. If I specify South America I DO get the May16 update.....

Thanks

Sorry, I was replying to another user but fucked up the quote

Perhaps what that's saying then is that there's a May 16 update available for South Americas, but not for Oceania? Given I was directed to this website by my VW dealership as that's where they source their maps from, I'm either being bullshitted by the dealer, or there's a whole heap of wires being crossed in communication all over the place from head office down to us.

I downloaded the South America one and there definately seems to be Australian maps in it. Havent actually got round to loading it into the car yet though....

yeah it will include Australian maps in it. I've confirmed it by driving near the airport... Roe Hwy / Tonkin Hwy has now changed

Thanks God for that, as they have moved the junctions the current GPS makes me miss them..... get so used to listening to directions !!!

I know right! I get lost so much in that area until I had to rely on my phone for quite some time to navigate.

That's very interesting then! What on earth would explain the incredible difference in download size then, if they both have the same content? :S

Yeah that sounds like an issue on your end

Got it. I had to remove some of your link you posted. That allowed me to select Asia Pacific and start the download. The instructions say you have to use the original SD card. I'm guessing that is largely BS? I've a Verbatim 8GB card that I've done a full FAT32 format on. I'd like to keep the original as a backup, but if someone can confirm that you must use the original, then I'll copy the contents to a folder for backup and use the original.

The May 2016 update seems to have been removed. Via other methods I managed to download 2 different updates. For anyone who has download the 'Discovery Media' updates, what was the file name when it was downloaded. I have:

P34_N60S3MIBS2_ROW_NT.7z
0635_V05_1911c.xROW2.7z

Which one is correct (if either)

Thx
Tony

I'm currently downloading the Nov 2015 P34_N60S3MIBS2_ROW_NT full file.
