Maps and POIs for Discover Media

Anyone with a MY16 Golf tried this new ROW 2016 update yet?

[VW_Tim]

I tried this without any luck using a V2 card and ROW 2016 maps. The navi system wouldn't move off the initial loading page and requested a valid file be used. Sort of makes sense as it's not mentioned in the step-by-step instructions that this option exists. It would be great if it did, as the "aus" folder contents are only 414 MB in size instead of 5.83 GB for the entire "markets" folder contents.

Hey Mikey,
I have V1, I'll have a look on the weekend again on folder contents (I'm interstate atm) and advise. But mine definitely works a LOT faster.

Hi VW_Tim, I deleted all folders except Aus and it is stuck at checking navigation. I am also interested to know how you did it.

Ok trick is to reset the system once the SD card is inserted by press n hold media unit power button until it resets. If it is not done and structure change from what it read before I observed it going into checking navigation data and stuck

Single aus folder worked perfectly. Have to see if it is really fast

Did you leave the 'Aus' folder within the 'Market' folder? If you don't have the market folder it won't work.

Yes it has to be there under market, the only folder in root. Coming to speed obviously it is supposed to be faster but I don't think I noticed it. May be navigating on close network of roads I may see a difference. All i wanted to know is would it work just with aus folder and it worked after reset.

I know it has been said before, but does the reset allow V1cards to work? Surely somebody has works out a V1 solution. Damn you VW

Hey MRG,
I should elaborate, the actual navigation isn't quicker but the entry of streets and suburbs is. Before I always had to wait for the next letter to show up, now I can "just" type. I think this is due to not having to look through so many files.
I'm tempted to also delete the NZ files, but just haven't had the time and am happy the way it works (bar the outdated navi software).
Cheers.

Thanks VW_Tim. Yes, I did notice the entry of street and suburbs are faster. Btw I deleted NZ entries under Aus folder and it worked

So I have a V3 card with ROW 2015 maps trying to update to ROW 2016. I've downloaded my ROW 2016 maps to my laptop and also saved a ROW 2015 back-up to my laptop.

However when I try and reformat my SD card prior to copying ROW 2016 onto the SD card I can't because it is write-protected. What do I do? The dealer won't give me ROW 2016 but is happy to sell it to me via Spare Parts.

I note that when I went into Navigation.com my model year (MY15) wasn't selectable so I ticked MY14.
