Firmware updates for RNS510 units in Australia/NZ

[dero]

Thanks folks. I think it's what Hillbilly mentioned - lost the last-known-location coordinates.

Went for a drive this morning and it identified then loaded up the maps.

The new firmware shows quite differently to the old one. New navigation takes a little longer to calculate a route than before. Aside from look and feel UI changes, still coming to grips with the overall changes that have come from the new firmware.

Thanks again for uploading the maps and the advice so far along the way in helping me get the update into the system. At least now the mapping data is showing my mother in law's place instead of me being driving on a map free area.

Thanks for all the advice and FW upgrade, Kamold. I have completed the upgrade and noticed the RDS on the radio UI. Are there any other nice little additions I should look for? One thing I did notice during the upgrade, it mentioned DAB. Does this make DAB available on the RNS where it is broadcast?
Thanks again for all the help.

If beside DAB it has 255 that means it doesnt have it Only the very new P?? and later versions have it

DAB is European
Australia has DAB+ (or 2.0, if you like). Both also require a compliant tuner/receiver in the RNS. DAB+ might be in the very latest versions of the RNS but for those of us who already have an older model, it's a very expensive upgrade.

DAB+ versions of RNS510 now available

Hi,

Can someone show me what has changed in the UI? I'm just wondering if I should bother upgrading the firmware.
Any disadvantage found after upgrading?

[Hillbilly]

Depends what version you are on

No real disadvantages

Gives more space for music and gives RDS on 4120

Be aware of limitations on A & B models


Read back through the thread Changes are all documented in various replies

There's a few bits and pieces of UI changes from the stock firmware. I'm still noticing the UI changes - basic button placement is the same but the colours and certain additional options are now available. Radio can show a new display text, navigation route colour is different, I get the full version information when holding down the Setup for the secret menu.

I've only run it for a couple of days now since updating the firmware so if I notice more, I'll report back.
