A quick 'noddy' guide for the Luddites among us - I 'bit the bullet' today and am posting a quick guide. For simplicity I saved everything to my desktop where it was easy to find and once satisfied all was good moved it to a file on the C drive. Note that you can only update the maps in the Facelift Amundsen in this way. 1. Download the new maps via the download tool on the Skoda web site, save to your desktop so it's easy to find. You should check to see that your in car maps are not the current ones first! It will show as a zip file when downloaded which has an icon of a pile of books. Open it up the zip file and you will see 3 files, the folder file called 'maps' is the one you need. Ignore the other two. You will probably need to agree to the terms for the trial of the zip software (I did). The download is about 12MB which took about 45 min on our average 10MB connection. 2. Remove the SD card from the car. Switch the plastic write protect tab to unlocked and put into PC. 3. The SD card only contains one file called 'Maps'. Copy and paste this file to the desktop (this is your backup). Then delete the 'Maps' file from the SD card. 4. Go to the new download and drag the 'Maps' file to the SD card. First it will show as unzipping (takes about 10 minutes) then it will show as copying to the SD card (this takes about another 10 minutes). Don't worry that the SD card shows as empty until the last moment when the new 'Maps' file will miraculously appear. 5. Remove the SD card, re lock it and put in the car - and that's it done! 6. Move the download and backup maps to another place on your PC away from the desktop.
