This is the display on my satnaav settings. Does it mean the maps are from 2017 only?  And is the [update (SF/USB)] button telling me to update or is it the button to actually update. I only picked up the car this morning, so still ltrying to familiarise myself. Can't get the memory seats to work either but thats another thread.

The map updates for Columbus come out every 6 months and I'm currently on maps for 2022/23, which came out last month, so yours are well out of date.  I updated them before our trip to Croatia that I'm current on to hopefully cover any new  junctions, roads, etc.  In about 5 months from now, the 2023 maps will be out.  You'll need to download the update onto SD or USB and then press the update when it's loaded and can be read and updated.

 

There are plenty of threads on here explaining how to update the maps and overcome common problems.

This is the one which has the updated file links for the Columbus too.

Started downloading updates this afternoon, took 3 hours, Then I extracted them to a 64gb sdxc Card. That took another hour and 1/2. Just finished 5 minutes ago. I'm going to wait til tomorrow to attempt to upgrade the system. One question. I also downloaded the UK radio stations logo. That went into a seperate folder which I havn't extracted yet, as I'm not sure where to extract it to. A seperate card or the card with the nav data on it. Or is it necessary?

Hi, I am new to this site, so bear with me. I have a similar problem but since the garage cancelled the change oil warning message as it doesnt need changing until the second year( car is one yr old), I have lost the live traffic information! Having discussed with the garage who told me to go through the long process of downloading the software, extracting it to a usb stck as there is no sd slot in the car (which they were not aware of), plugging in to the usb socket and allowing it to download whilst driving. I have started the process but only driven a short journey and guess it will take ages. Do you think this will reinstate the traffic live data?

Any pointers help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you dont have a sd card slot then your car has OTA which is over the air updates. No need to manually update it with a usb stick.

Thanks for your advice, shame the garage or the manual didnt say  that!

If thats the case any comment/ advice regarding the loss of over the air live traffic information. according to my satnav there was no traffic congestion for the last few weeks in the uk. It is so frustrating!

I've only been on the site for a week and still finding my way too. The manuals don't make it easy in my opinion. I have the module with 2 sd slots and a CD/DVD slot, but when I went into the version it offered me a button "upgrade maps" I thought that perhaps that meant I could download OTA but all I got was the spinning wheel. Think I'll sign on the OU for an IT course. But I don't need to, there are loads of people on this site ready to help us newbies.

It's probably not a fault with your car, there's been a problem with the traffic information broadcasts recently but it's working again now.

Well, went out to car this morning with SD card containing satnav upgrade. inserted in slot and after a bit it started updating. I'm sure I read somewhere that the engine doesn't need to be running to upgrade but to be on the safe side i went for a drive. 20miles up the motorway it had upgraded by 52% so I turned round at the next intersection and drove home. As I got into the driveway it read 99%. Sat there till it finished (less than a minute) and then checked it AOK. I didn't extract the Radio stations logo, not going to bother.
