No need, the VW and Skoda maps are identical.

Nope.

Also if you want all of Europe on a 16gb card a trick has been found where you delete all other language countries apart from your own. It buys sometime before you need to get a 32gb card. Alternatively if you aren't planning to drive across Europe just use one of the zoned releases. You can always test it by enabling the demo options. It works.

Trick:

For GB language across Europe you just need GB and the meta_info.db in the folder:

maps\00\sds

That's a fix till it out grows the card again. Other languages pick your plate and delete the rest except meta_info.db

---

The language in total come to 1gb. Just one language saves a lot of space... 😍

Hi @Tellcan you please tell me where the other language files are that can be deleted

I've found that formatting the Skoda card with a 4096 byte Unit Allocation size helps too as many of the files are very small and take up a bigger unit space otherwise

They are in the directory

maps\00\sds

Each countries language is stored as the international plate. If the country has two languages it uses them but the other countries can be deleted, you must keep the meta_info.db

Thus for GB delete everything else other than GB, keep the meta_info.db

I got it from a German Skoda board so they were keeping Germany 😉.

You can check by putting the unit into demo mode where you select your position for the demo and then navigate to a destination (should see that under advanced). Worked fine in France using the GB language.

It's just how the languages are picked up and used. French roads got the correct pronunciation and the directions were in English. The people who identified this space saving mod were waiting to get abroad to try. No just do a demo navigation run. Since then it's a mod that has appeared across European boards as the trick became known. Only a short term fix though till the card out grows again.

Yes I did try the sector size out but concluded as others did, it didn't help. But the language trick does.

Tell · 10 June, 2021

Demo mode is shown under Setting, Adnanced Settings... least on a Seat. You will have it.

That's good. Seatcupra people are finding it works as well :).... where there is a resource you will find other tricks if you happen to want to drive your car to the ROW or vice versa. That thanks to the T6Forum but we had a bit of cross working between boards to get US Golfs working on European maps they are more pesky where a Palestinian guy found additional twigs that had to be made. Seat France exports to Palestine on ROW maps. Spanish VWs to Morocco etc etc. All fun... where there is a need. The Arona becomes the test bed where I put it in demo mode to drive RoW countries... so far Israel and Morocco without leaving the garage.

Hello again guys,

Now that I've a decent SD Card reader, I noticed the card from my Skoda is a 16GB model. Whatever !

I did download the entire Europe map from Skoda (STD2_1720_EU_A1_202145.zip) and removed all unecessary languages, keeping only the French one.

Then the Skoda notice says :

I didn't find these paths on my navigation system, but when I have a look to the software versions, I can see that it matches the file I previously downloaded.

So I assume the upgrade completed successfully. What do you think ?

Many thanks !

Tell · 12 November, 2021

On a Seat it just does it after the language edit doesn't give you any commenter. It is a short term solution since at some point it is likely to out grow what you are deleting so a 32gb card or a zone may be used.

To test it you can put the unit in demo mode under advanced setting... That's how I test these type of edit.... saves wasting fuel.

Yes it is very close with a 16GB card. Deletion of 44 unused languages saves me 750MB, but large enough to copy all files. I think we can buy MIB2 compatible 32GB sdcard for a reasonnable price.

Will have a look and let you know ! Thx

Why loaded previous maps?

Not sure but he's happy. Think a lot of people think these maps found on servers before they are wrapped in a web page are not legitimate / housed on the "wrong" manufactures site are an issue. As we know mib2 maps are interchangeable between VAG brands in general (bit for bit the same). Skoda tends to release 6 months after VW so stay ahead and use whatever is available.

Why not ? 🙂

That was my first attempt so I wanted to keep it simple and avoid any unecessary complexity. Now that I know how things are working, yeah I can use latest files.
