RNS510 Australia V4 maps out ?

**mikinoz** · 12-06-2011, 08:40 PM

Has someone got a copy of V4 maps that I can possibly acquire?

In contact with someone who thinks they have some ideas on how to integrate sensis data from other sources to create a 'patched' version that is more up to date.

PM if you can help me out.

Last weekend I did a run through roadworks not yet complete on the bypass and Stromlo Forrest Park area - they were started well over 12 months ago and have shifted the original road ... V4 did not go amiss once. I think it's a sure upgrade of the map data, but there seemed to be no fix to the POI issue.

How's everyone going with version 4 maps?
Looking at a new car over the weekend and the RNS510 system have a version 3 disc dated 2009, on asking the dealer he stated that it was supplied by VW Australia with the car and had not seen (or heard of) version 4 maps yet. The car was built April 2011 and compliance plated June 2011 so pretty new.

As per everyone elses reponse in the thread, V4 HAS been out for a few months now. The salesman probably had no idea about the versions.

Being a june car i would say a v4 has been installed.

Anyone out there who would be willing to burn a copy of their V4 disk, or I can send a blank DVD - whatever is best. I use Pimp-My-Nav to be able to add on my speed cameras which change frequently, and each time I update them in the car I need the 'original' disk - which I have for V3. Anyone able to help? Thanks

Just to add, another eBayer is selling these disks. He has 9 available apparently. With a $50 postage charge. This must mean they have lots of updates if the disc has become that much heavier to post with all the chnages from V3

Read the rest of his ad, and you'll see he'll send it post free if you pay by bank transfer.

The $50 (and the 7-day delay in posting the item) is to discourage buyers from paying with PayPal, with which you have a certain amount of protection — with bank transfer you effectively have none.

Also look at his positive feedback rating of about 67% — the norm on Ebay is 98-100% (of course this might also be because he's sold only one, but if that buyer was happy, shouldn't it mean he'd have 100%?)

I'm sure I've seen him advertising elsewhere, as well. As that financial writer says: "Tread your own path."

yeh it's the same guy I tried to deal with. He de-registered his ebay account and set up a new one - cause his previous feedback was low.
