Be warned it is not just the maps that are missing details, the speed warnings are also incorrect for some areas. If you missed the speed warning signs and rely on the satnav to tell what speed you should be doing it could be wrong. Area through Worcester the satnav shows 60mph, but the roads are marked at 40mph and have been like that for a number of years.

NEW SKODA MIB2 V14 Navigation SD Card Octavia Yeti Kodiaq Karoq Rapid 2021 -2022 is available. Can anyone confirm that this shows town and village names.

Maps Version 21/22 on my Octavia Amundsen still doesn’t show towns and villages. Real strange omission.

Thanks Frank, just saved me £29.00. I don't understand why Skoda don't fix this.

Like with Another CPB, this just baffles me.

I've had a good poke around the internet as well as these threads on the subject of the missing towns and villages on the Amundsen SatNav.

Also asked my dealer by email if and when it will be fixed (no response, silence is eloquent). Also asked a vendor of SatNav updates if their latest update fixes the problem, another eloquent silence. Spoke to another dealer on the phone who talked about online upgrades and Android Auto but it seemed to me he had been previously briefed on what to say and what not to say, he definitely avoided the direct questions.

It seems the problem is certainly a software/firmware glitch and it is with Skoda not the map software supplier so, once Skoda resolve it, fixing it would just need publishing an update, not a huge expense of recalling loads of cars or anything like that.

And for Skoda to carry on merrily selling cars with this problem feels like a throwback to the Soviet era. (Or has the Amundsen unit been superseded now?)

I'd love to hear if anyone knows what is really going on - I guess it must be more difficult than I think or it really would have been sorted out?

Have Skoda said anything 'on the record' on the subject?

On a practical point, is it possible to 'downgrade' the map version on my (2020 MKIII) Octavia to an older one which will show towns and villages? That way I could see where I'm driviing even if a few roads are out of date.

 

ps apart from this I'm hugely impressed with the car

I had the issue of no village names on the map when I updated my Amundsen sat nav back in 2020, so reinstalled the 2017 version which worked.

 

I downloaded the 2023 version today, and yet again no village names - has anything been done to fix this issue?

 

Anyone know what the last version to work is?
