Map update?

[notaGolfR]

Once before I pruned the unzipped download of some unwanted countries for neatness but it was nbg.

What files CAN be deleted to make it smaller?

Once before I pruned the unzipped download of some unwanted countries for neatness but it was nbg.

What files CAN be deleted to make it smaller?

Heres what i did exactly and it works every time including this time


1 Found a Fujitsu 32GB SD card in my drawer that i always use for nearly everything
2 Fast formatted it as Fat32 as usual with default allocation size
3 went to Skoda site as usual and downloaded the current map file
4 Waited the 3 hours for it to d/load to Drive E.
5 inserted SD card into computer and Un RARed the file to the SD card
6 40 mins later took it out went to garage.
7 Unlocked car and started the engine and inserted the SD card in slot 2 of the MIB
8 waited for it to find card and start the loading
9 came back 45mins later and removed card
10 Turned engine off and locked car
11 Chucked SD card back in drawer

It works perfectly as always

NO YOU DONT DELETE ANY FILES FROM THE CARD you wil Stuff it if you do

Same issue with me too. Can u elaborate on how you suceeded please. Instead of the SD card, did you use a 2 TB USB stick?

I just partitioned about 35GB in Fat32 on a 2TB external HDD, transferred the map files over and then just plugged it into the car like I would with the 32GB thumb drive. All good

Well i dont know what you guys do to have troubles.

To check I have downloaded the VW map and have unzipped it and the Skoda one to 4 different 32GB SD cards.

All fit and all work so Im stuffed if I can figure out what you are doing wrong

One is 29.6GB with 475mb free Skoda map

other is 29.5 and 163mb free Vw map

3rd is a 32Gb stick and is 29.5 and 261mb free Vw map

Original one id 29,5 and 320mb free Skoda map


Different cards have different capacities slightly for various reasons

Thx. Very succinct. I will copy and paste it as a summary at the beginning of my note. At point 8, if you don't even need to navigate menus to get the card recognised (which is common with many other update procedures) I will give it a shot and amend my note accordingly.
However, and importantly, I am surprised, not to mention a little disappointed, that you failed to mention at point 6. that you ensured the garage was kept open to vent carbon monoxide

I look forward to our little banter sessions.

I presumed perhaps falsely, that MOST are intelligent enough to do that.. I cant be everywhere to hold your hand.

I should have course realised I could be speaking to the lowest common denominator and been completely explicit. Also as my garage has a solar extractor fan it isnt necessary in my case..,

More about why cant you get the maps on the correct sized card

Touche Hillbilly.

I should have presumed, perhaps correctly, that you, of all people, seeing as how you are always ahead of the game, would have a hi-tech ventilation system. Furthermore yours would have a sensor for carbon monoxide detection to turn it on automatically. And I am confident that said detector is placed about 150cm above the floor as carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air,

Thx. Today I tried without any partitioning on a 1TB USB hard drive to see if it would work and it DID. I already had a ton of TV recordings on that drive which may account for why it took a while to find the MIB folders and I did not try navigating to them.

Then I drove around Australia (anti-clockwise as that's shorter) to test. I just got back and no probs

Mine took 1 hr to upload (VW map) and I didn't need to run the engine.

ps. your Mazda 1500ss is a lovely car in it's time.

I used to think the same on previous years when others would have the same issue, but my trusty Sandisk 32GB would work every time
But not with this update...tried quick format, deep format, different PCs, etc but it just couldn’t fit on.

In the end, I found another way....just took about two hours longer to come up with the solution than It should have.
I just left accessories on and updated. Didn’t run the engine.
