Thanks guys. Downloading FJ Steves copy now and will give it a go.

For the record the one I have now is 677MB or 694,112KB or 710,770,688 bytes...

What firmware are you guys running?

Did you try it with the DVD inserted? See my earlier post. Doesn't seem to matter how long I leave the DVD in for, not long after I take it out, the names and 'textures' disappear again.

I had exactly the same problem. It took me 3 CD's and 2 DVD's to finally get it to work properly. Ended up working on a DVD that I burnt on the slowest speed the DVD would allow.

I'm running 4020 in the Golf. 3810 in the Touareg.

Ok so the link to the ISO that FJ Steve provided is the exact same size 677 MB (710,770,688 bytes) but it has a different hash 6E344E4E1EC7923A34D54E90CB330B7C

My guess is this one will work. I will burn tomorrow and test and get back to you. Thanks for the help.

Thanks mate. Seems persistence is the answer! Thanks to everyone else for their input too.

I'll wait and see how Ferni goes with his download also, and go from there.

I just updated my V6 maps to the link that FJ Steve provided. Woo Hoo. Version 6 maps with top information and street names. My previous Version 6 didn't work despite multiple media.
Thanks!

Post #153 actually.

Ferni has a link to a working copy. We'll see how he goes

FJ Steves V6 iso fixed my issues...

So looks like there are 2 different V6 ISO's floating around, identical size, one is bad and gives the symptoms I explained (missing road names, missing textures when zoomed in etc..) one is good and looks identical to v5 (But i guess more up to date roads etc..)

The way to tell if you have good or bad is to check the hash of the ISO file you downloaded.. If you don't know how to calculate the MD5 sum of your iso, download HashTab for windows and then right click the file, properties and check the Hash tab, it will calculate the MD5...

Bad ISO
RNS510V6Maps.iso
677 MB (710,770,688 bytes)
MD5: 8A9F7D1F4F464CBCDCF7C9FC7337214E

Good ISO
RNS510V6Maps.iso
677 MB (710,770,688 bytes)
MD5: 6E344E4E1EC7923A34D54E90CB330B7C

Thanks to everyone for your help, especially FJ Steve for his ISO.

Ok mine seems its the bad one Have downloaded Jorges version which has the correct hashtab Have put the V5 disc in and gone back to that but sitting in the garage doesnt seem much different . So reinstalled the "GOOD" V6 version and its the same as mine was.

Will go for a drive in the morning and run V5 off the disc and do the same route with V6 on the HDD and see what happens.
