Yes I could turn it off and run back along the same section of road but I check what is in the underlying map. It's option 3 that I'm at. It moans about a 30 MPH limit when it's 40 but I see no signs that set it as that. It could be the "master" copy of the maps in the live database has been corrected and hasn't worked through to the release one. The Here Maps app release doesn't reflect the live database since that still has a processing delay. It's always the same section of road where it gets the speed wrong.
If Seat UK stopped being stupid about Mapcare I'm sure many more people would be crowd sourcing edits on Here Maps, I do it for Google and Openstreet. On those your edits when verified get put threw into the published database. Here Poi's are a shambles in many cases. The postcode centre point is used as the location of the business which isn't accurate in many cases. I grind my teeth when people suggest using the postcode only on boards yet they have been batch processed into Here Maps. Other instances they are edited in correctly to the underlying satellite image. There is a load more rubbish Poi's in Here Maps than Google Maps, spam. It's more easy to delete Spam from Here Maps than Google which when present needs photos etc to prove it's Spam or leave it to a community of people like me to check it... yet more spam on Here Poi's since it gathers up overtime without being deleted by the community although it will go if you delete it unlike Google with the verification process.
Not dissing inbuilt car systems which are far more accurate using wheel revolutions when blind from satellites in towns and tunnels. Wearing my navigation hat for the last month still impressed with car systems where Google as a standalone system gets it wrong because it gets lost. Pity the Google data isnt on VW inbuilt systems. That would be the best of both worlds.
Hi Steve, can you please tell me which link on the skoda page you downloaded, is it the columbus or amundsen. Just wondered which will work with my mib2 6P0?
Thanks
It's not the Columbus since that's the Plus unit. 6P0 is the only one without Mapcare where you get full success for the SD based units. There is a table above which maps the units to each other.
SEAT Navi System 5F0 (up to MJ 2015, up to BJ 21KW 2015) <-> VW Discover Media Generation 1 (MIB1Std) <-> Skoda Amundsen MIB1
SEAT Navi System 6P0 (from MJ 2016, starting at BJ 22.KW 2015) <-> VW Discover Media Generation 2 (MIB2Std) <-> Skoda Amundsen MIB2
SEAT Navi SystemPlus <-> VW Discover Pro (MIB1 / MIB2High) <-> Skoda Columbus

Many thanks, downloading now and will see how i get on, hopefully it'll be like last time and just copy over the overall.nds file.
Yep, that's all that's required. Backup the files, format the SD card, copy the unzipped new download to the SD card and the overwrite the overall.nds file. I just had issues with some of my Favourites, but as I only has 5-6 of them, I just recreated them.
Cheers, worked like a charm as before.
I didn't have any favourites, but all the destinations i use in the memory are still there so all good. Will give it a try out tomorrow to make sure it all works as should.
Thanks again
No need to format the SD, though I spose it might be quicker. You can just delete the maps directory before unzipping straight onto the SD card
Start reading from post number 613 in this thread.
I read from there and by the end understood what I needed to do.
I don't want to write a guide in case I miss something thing out.
Take a back up image is my advice as that way you can return.
Ta. Read this thread so much, but missed that but. Not sure mine will work as it's the older model, but I'm up for giving it a go
Everyone I get a notification on my phone about a new comment on this particular thread I open it hoping that somebody has finally worked out how to update the 5F0 without Mapcare........ Still waiting

I'm waiting for the sla1 private password for mib2 so I can frig the install commands.... might take a time thou
![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
in the meantime I'll enjoy what I did do so far with the mib2 high upgrade side that isn't protected. For the paultry amount that the one off payment of Mapcare care costs (circa £100) for life stupid that this option is not offered or just built in the UK. People will get even more wild I reckon when the virtual cockpit is offered on new Seats but still no way of upgrading the maps yourself for UK Seat drivers.Update without of mapcare
1. Does anybody know what happend if I try to update 6P0 system WITHOUT mapcare service? Does the system still work if I return back original SD card?
2. Can I update system by yourself if I buy new original sd card with maps or there is necessary to do it with official dealer assistance?
Thanks for help

6PO are fine, the issue is with the original, mine 5PO.
Follow the guides on here and you will be fine
What is fine? I have not got any mapcare because there is no way to buy it here. Do you mean I can test different editions of maps without risk of bricking the navi system?
And what guids do you mean? To read all posts is unreal? Posts I red until now were not useable for me. Can you be more specific?

Step 4 isn't required, the important thing is to back it up so you can do step 3 or go back if you decide. That's step 0 other than that you have to use VW libraries to obtain a copy of the software if you wanted to go backwards.
The original SD card has a hidden partition that reformatting doesn't touch which registers the card to the unit. These are special SD cards but you can buy, back in the thread from November 2016 on details of how to clone onto these special cards is provided, but basically you don't need to they won't work on another car accept yours. Basically the listed stuff on the thread for 6P is an over kill since people didn't know what was required, trying to understand how things worked, so I'd say Step 0 take a copy of the card to HD, then steps 1-3.
It's a fluke why this workaround works but best not to look a gift horses in the mouth.
