Well done, Matt - I was about to offer only that perseverance seems to work in the end! I've been very grateful for the inputs of other members of this forum in getting through to the conclusion.... but it really isn't easy. Thanks, everyone!

Having been wrestling with updating my Amundsen (Octavia III) and trying to get the download to complete unpacking to the SD card, I've finally succeeded, with the dealer not much help at all... Following guidance in this thread, I've just downloaded using IE (no idea why that should make a difference), formatted the SD card to FAT32 and 4k segments, and allowed it to unzip using the provided app - and it's worked. Previous attempts using different formats, different unzippers... all no good. Now, after about 10 goes, happy again.

Thanks, Gabbo - I thought there was another thread somewhere, but the one I found didn't seem to be addressing this particular problem. I was using Windows and WinZip to the SD card, and the problem does seem to be related to the file size: but it seems there's more to it. Ads230 - thanks also, I've been using Firefox but might try Chrome (if I get my card back). But at least it's not just me being stupid - itself a relief!

Just joining this forum, having tried to update (by download) the map software for the Amundsen system in my 2015 Octavia. Issue dated April 2017 was issued in June. Having followed the instructions, the system doesn't now recognise the data as 'valid navigation data', and my SATNAV doesn't work at all. The dealer tells me that there is a corruption on the downloadable file, and that SKODA are working to fix it - he has the SD cards, all useless, of several customers who have the same problem. If that's true, it's a bit surprising (to say the least) that the file is still made available for download - I'd have expected it to have been withdrawn, in a hurry. Does anyone else have the same problem, and is there a solution?
