SatNav Navigation Database Updates

[balalaika]

I don't know which countries are included, because i don't have yet the Seat Leon. I only check the price.

Now i have Peugeot 508 with Sat Nav and UK is included in the EU package of maps:

http://www.navigation.com/508_2011/...on/peugeot-eu/product/T1000-22027P/en_GB/EUR/

So i think that on VAG Sat Nav is the same.

Like dephead2004 said - you got some other extra pack included and we don't.

When I bought my Leon in Bulgaria, MapCare was not available, it was later added as an option. How about that? I feel screwed...

 

[balalaika]

Can you buy now Map Care for 109 EUR?

Ask your Seat and let us know.

I bought my wife a TomTom last night as her car doesn't have sat nav it cost £130 and comes with lifetime map and traffic updates.

C'mon SEAT time to sort this out why should we suffer with out of date maps rendering the sat nav effectively useless or have to resort to a mobile phone app !!??

 

[balalaika]

Maps of integrated car Sat Nav are always expensive because of "fancy" look

When you buy update for your maps, you must pay really a lot of money (more than 150 EUR), but this money don't go to Seat, but to the provider of maps.

TomTom are using own maps - TomTom.

Seat (Audi, Škoda, VW) use HERE maps and this is different provider of maps. HERE is old Navteq and maps from HERE are really great!

Anyway - there will be GREAT if the Sat Nav have possibility to mirror my phone screen - then i could use 10 different app navigations

No, it's not possible. It seems the difference between units with and without MapCare is hardware, so you can't add it later...

I think that this is not true. Why?

Because of the instructions from SEAT http://www.navigation.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Navteq-NavteqEurope-Site/en_GB/-/GBP/View-Promo?Page=SEAT_Instructions&cwt=application/ApplicationFrame_campaign_light:

Do not rewrite on the original SD card if you are not absolutely sure that you have the MapCare service!
Rewriting the SD card without hiring the MapCare service may cause data loss!

So the whole "point" is in the SD card, which contain "license" data of Map Care

The fact VW and Skoda both offer self updating as part of the package suggests this is some cockup with Seat

 

[CyberGene]

They mean the update works only if you have purchased the MapCare service. So, if you haven't bought Map are and you overwrite your data, you will end up with non-working navigation unless uou have made a backup. The MapCare capable units are newer hardware. That has been discussed in another thread in details.

 

[balalaika]

Can you please show me in which thread? I can't find it

Thanks!

Maybe it was on another forum, here's a topic from this forum where we have discussed navigation updated initially:
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=388586

Anyway, what I am sure is MapCare can't be added to my car since I have requested that to Seat Bulgaria. Whether it is a hardware stuff or not is another discussion.

I think the issue in the UK is that SEAT have been giving away the nav units as a deal sweetener for as long as I can remember and aren't about to supply cheap map updates to go with them. I bet once the free tech pack offer expires MapCare will get introduced!

Is it possible to update the SEAT Sat Nav? Is Mapcare available in UK? Any updates? Do dealers suppose to update the maps as a part of annual service or do we have to pay for it extra? I have just bought Leon 13 plate and it seems i have an old version of Hardware, Software and Database.

Hardware: 040
Software: 0407
Navigation Database:
5F0919866E 0030 ECE 2013/14

Has anybody updated software as well? 0407 seems old compare to others. Do you know what is the newest software available for 040 Hardware?

Mapcare currently not available in the UK. Dealers will update nav but charge for it. £150 iirc.

 

[kedzis]

Thanks, i think it is not worth it..

 

[ayster]

I know its not available in the UK, but just interested in how much SEAT charge for Mapcare and what you get for it?

I payed around 90 euros and it includes three years of updates, twice a year.

Much better value than our £150 per update!!

I really don't know how they came up with a number like that. It's ridiculous.
