Took the tumble and loaded "V4" as per our ebayer description. All good. Recognised it as an 'update', asked me to save or temporary use. 20 minutes later: Saved. Sanctified.

Will check out some of the 2010 roadworks around Canberra and see if it knows the difference and report back.

Simple Mind

Please tell me it has enabled internal POI's?

Every weekend I play soccer at some weird park I can't search for.... So depressed about it!

It'll be a miracle if it does! Go back a few pages and you'll find ppl with D units have already said it doesn't work!

Furthermore, expecting 2010 roadwork changes incorporated is unrealistic, since the supposed V4 map (CD_7360) clearly suggests its a 2009_Q4 compilation.

My latest confirmation came only yesterday with a trip to Manly ... when the directions provided to get off the bridge and onto Military Rd, Neutral Bay were all over the shop!

Will be overly surprised if it does!

But if they do ... I'd hazard a guess that it will be running FW 2XXX, if VGA want to deliver factory Sat Navs with working internal POIs.

Unless of course, they expect new owners to either 1) don't notice or 2) think that it's normal to have no POIs.

All plausible since the people that I'd asked (who bought aftermarket D units), responded accordingly to my original thread (flagging the problem): http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f78/...one-58954.html

In fact this was also a revelation to our Lithuanian friend, when I asked him to confirm whether it was the case or not!
Sadly, no regression testing is done with our Australian maps running on the higher FW & unit.

Anyhow, can anyone who's taken delivery recently confirm the exact details of their factory RNS510 (both hardware & fw version)?

Would dearly like to be proven wrong on this ocassion!

shame bout that.
I had expected that the physical roadworks I have experienced would have been planned in advance of 2010, and gazetted / noted in something official which sensis would have picked up on and incorporated into the newer one. Should know tuesday on way back to work.

Still the old one did make me laugh when I drove back from VIC with my daughter - we were both fascinated by the display and womans voice - 'turn right now', 'take the next exit' etc - so we were convinced this thing was the bees knees until the blue line on the screen took off to the right and (would have) had us driving in a field for a few KM - you could see the old road had been superseded by the new part of the highway we were one - made us laugh

Yes ... it's funny now but not at the numerous times when the woman tells me to go further up and do a U-turn and then turn left, just to get onto a street which clearly is accessible by just turning right (but obviously a "no right turn" according to the map).

But none on mine (also C unit but FW 3930) running the same V4 map.

So it's literally just a map upgrade, with no file structure change required by FW 3810 or higher, to support things like basic POIs.
Let alone, my pipe dream of SD Card upload of personal POIs.

Anyhow my advice is to rollback to FW 2760 or lower, if you really want the basic POIs back.
Cause they're definitely there on the V4 map!

Alternatively, if you don't want to downgrade FW on your D unit, load your favourite destinations via SD Card this way: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f78/...tml#post670541

wandersen
I will also try and create a modified V4 map (the old school way) with my speed cameras POIs for you to test.

Thanks again

Anybody know if I can roll back in a D unit from 3890 to 2760?

And if I can do that, does anybody know where I can get a copy of 2760?

I can't give you a definitive answer to your first question!

But if you want to go ahead, then you can get instructions and link to 2760 here:
Volkswagen RNS 510 Firmware Upgrade to version 2760 / 2762 / 2764 / 2766 / 2768 | my-gti.com.

First, you need to access the secret menu and enable "software downgrade" (to ensure you don't have any problems).
Now if you don't have the secret menu enabled already, then unfortunately you'll need VCDS to enable it.

Note: you will lose map and music with this downgrade and need to re-install both on HDD.
