Maps and POIs for Discover Media

bobcrusader · 08-02-2015, 10:16 AM

Just updated mine today. Forgot to switch the SD Card lock back on, so it hung at Checking Navigation Data until I removed it, locked it, put it back in and it came straight up. Still has the suburb for my house wrong!

updated mine today and the pronunciation is just as bad as before - how the hell can they correctly have Ave pronounced as Avenue but completed screw up Rd, Morton gets mangled into something like Muron, and I could go on and on... WTF Volkswagen?

Hi there,
Did you try to report the error on HERE - City and Country Maps - Driving Directions - Satellite Views - Routes That's the map provider for Discover Media. Under feedback (bottom right) you can report map problems. It will probably take sometime for it to come through to the car maps but you would kick-start the process. A friend did this early last year and it's now correct. It might have happened anyway but it can't hurt to report it.
All the best
Lupo

Finally got around to doing mine....all worked fine

I had my car in for a service on Monday and they told me they would be happy to update the maps but I apparently have the latest version. I have had the car for a year and it was built in Feb '14 so I'm not sure that's correct after reading all this?

I'd hazard a guess, they probably don't have the 2015 maps in their inventory yet in Australia perhaps?

I'll probably work it out when I get the car, but how do you check which version of maps you have? I expect my Jan15 build should come with the latest..

It's sorta mentioned on the first post of this thread...

Dealer told me today that there are issues with the current version of maps - voice can't pronounce many roads apparently....

Anyway, the service consultant said they've been awaiting an update for a while now (been delayed a few times). She also wasn't sure how customers would be informed of it & suggested I keep calling back every few weeks - if it becomes available, it'd be a simple & quick process of popping into a VW dealer & getting it updated..

BTW, can you mute the voice commands of the GPS? It's a handy feature in Google Maps, where you're familiar with your route & just want to listen to music uninterrupted whilst still having the GPS time/distance left to destination on screen..

& this only impacts the volume of the active application (GPS) does it, whilst retaining the sound for music etc? Smart. Thanks.
