You have to decompress or Unzip on your computer and copy the files onto your USB stick.

Mine only took about 45 minutes and went smoothly once I managed to download it. My internet kept dropping out before the full file was downloaded - I used a download manager in the end and that worked fine. Very happy with the update.

So sorry Skoda. BTW postcodes in France are all numeric 😉

Trific, never seen that before thanks a load.

Finally did update my Columbus unit. Biggest problem I had was getting the 26Gb download. Downloads kept stopping for no apparent reason meaning I had to start over. Finally in desperation I installed a Download Manager on the PC which did the job. Unzipped files to an SD card and installed fine - just a shame they have not got around to adding postcode search for destinations..

I have just updated my Columbus to the latest mapping hoping that they would finally add postcode destination search. Sadly this is not the case, when will they get with the 21st century?

It only happens in ECO mode with the DSG gearbox. Regarding starting off in second gear, this often happens if you are on flattish land or facing downhill. No real need for first gear unless you are trying to pull away like a formula 1 driver or on a steep hill.

If an update to Columbus mapping is interrupted in any way can it restart where it left off or do you start again.

Thanks for the info, it is a DSG and you have set my mind at rest. I guessed that was what was happening but was not sure. Thank you. Ron

Hi, is it normal for the rev counter to drop to 1000 rpm in eco mode when car is over-running. For example when going downhill. then the rev counter goes to normal speed when accelerating?

Hi I have finally managed to download the update which is 26Gb. Last time it was updated was 2015. My question is, can I start the update and then lock the car to go to bed and let it do its thing while I am asleep?

Hi all, I am about to update my Columbus mapping, I have downloaded relevant maps, Unzipped and put them on SD card. My question is that Skoda say it will take about 4 hours to upload to the internal hard drive. Is it OK to leave the ignition on that long without running the engine. It is a Diesel engine. Which ignition position should I leave it in for the process to take place. please?

Thank you everyone for your help. Mirror now fixed.

Sorry if I was unclear, the bit that sticks to the windscreen is still in place, but the mirror and its housing has come off.

Hi All the rear view mirror fell off when I was adjusting it. Any ideas on how to refit it on my 2007 L&K Octavia. It has autowipers and self dimming mirror.
