What is the latest map?

Chaps

Is there a thread anywhere that outlines the latest map update versions of those of running the OEM sat nav unit RNS510 know what upgrades are available?

I know the dealer told me that whenever there is an update that I know about to come in and they will update mine. Which is fine, but I also have Pimp-my-nav software so I can add on my own speed cameras and other POI's etc which works well - but you need a copy of the original disk to update it and create your own.

Thus wondered if anyone out there can advise where we are with updates - or is there already a section on this? Thanks

I think there's a section, but the search function doesn't seem to find it.

However, the latest maps are V3 — been out a bit over a year now and already miles out of date.

Can you only buy the map updates through dealers. Or should I put it are dealers the only authorised sellers? How do you know when there is an update?

Try here: BMW Navigation Systems

$99 including postage, I think. As to legality, I haven't a clue.

Thanks for that idle. I'm surprised that 2008 is the most up to date map.

Correct me if wrong, but I believe V3 is 2010. Was not 2008 V2?

The VW page says they're supplying the V3 (2010) disc now. The only reference to 2008 is the year the device (RNS-510) was released AFAIK.

As to legality, I haven't a clue.

If there's any doubt, there is no doubt.

As I said, I've no idea — haven't dealt with him at all. There appears to be nothing clandestine about it, but you never can't tell...

He also offers the old (V2) disc and firmware updates for RNS510 B & C units for $5 posted — doesn't say which updates they are tho'.

I'll double check my disc, but I am pretty sure mine has a date of 2009 on it, and it is V3, and the van is 2 months old.

Thanks for that AdamD I probably misread it. 2010 sounds alot better then 2008 maps.
