Thanks for the link, it works from USB as well as SD card.

Loaded up the personal points of interest and my nav bongs as I approach them. There is even a setting to turn this on and off.

So I've visited the dealers last week and they said I would need to pay $150 to put my car back in the system for the map updates. I generously declined as I've used the sat nav once in the 3 months of owning the car, and that was just to test it against Google Maps.

Does anyone regularly use it in car sat nav when Google Maps / Waze is clearly better and now easier to use with Apple Carplay / Android Auto? My car doesn't even have Carplay/Auto and I still rather use my phone.

did they say how long you get map updates for if you pay $150?

i much prefer the sat nav over phone/google maps, but i have an MY15 vRS and it no longer updates

From my understanding it is something like 10 years.... Although i was told $99, so i guess the cost is negotiable.

I’ve always used the car satnav (MY15 Octavia Elegance Wagon) & update the Maps twice yearly. Have no issues with it whatsoever. Don’t have CarPlay but think I’d keep on using the satnav if I did

Live traffic is when I use the carplay apps. Often Apple Maps, Google maps and now Waze all do a better job on the fly at redirecting you. I have traffic turned on in the car GPS but its awful, so many times its led me stupid ways to get around an incident.

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I have been here!
Sorry if this has been covered; I was able to get my maps updated during the service at a Skoda dealer for free (yippy!) although I was interested in a website that offers software updates with speed cameras ▷ Skoda Columbus 2 ( 2016 ) update. Speedcam for your maps. Download update. Free custom download.

Has anyone subscribed and tried it? They are asking for 13 pounds for an annual subscription...

Go to Volkswagen Map & Softwareupdates
This is the VW site for satnav updates.
This site doesn't require a VIN, so it appears to be "unlocked" so anyone can d/l the appropriate updates.
Just make sure you choose the correct info unit version for your car.

I've used it twice now, in my 2016 Octy RS, with no issues. Still takes forever to download then unpack... I don't understand why you can't just choose the individual countries you want.... so we end up with 90% of the world's maps that we can't effectively use.

The Skoda portal seems to have an issue with it's latest offering, in that most people who d/l it, have corrupted or incomplete files when unpacked and trying to update.
