My satnav stopped working a while ago and ICT & electrickery generally not being my most accomplished skills, I did nothing about it until phoning ftoday or my 4th year service MOT etc. in mid July.  The service chap there was as helpful as usual and said that likely the SD card at the top of the glovebox needs pushing into the slot again - and he was right, voila, satnav is back.  I talked about updates and he said that this is also easy even for punters like me to do, just get a new an SD card and go to

and enter the VIN number.  Sure enough a choice of maps came up and I would like the ones with UK and central Europe ECE 1 2023/2024 and ECE 3 2023/2024.  I assume I can load the 2 maps onto the one SD card, but as each map suggests 16GB min SD card capacity, I expect I should go for a 32GB card.  I'm now wondering if I'll lose my chosen stored destinations - are they kept on the card or elsewhere in the car, can anyone help please?  Also can I use either slot for the new SD card containg the updated maps.

 

I recall messages here from a few years ago about needing to use the SD card that came with the car + other downloading omplications, but the service man at TransCity said I can use any new decent quality card of appropriate size.  It all seems too easy.

 

 

 

 

Old thread discussion here:

Yes thanks Tom, mine is an Amundsen (1.0  SE Tech DSG reg end Jul 2019) - that thread from 2020 must be where I began to get nervous, noting that you must use the existing Skoda SD card + the other complications mentioned.  However, the TransCity man said that any decent SD card should work and it's all pretty  easy - maybe things have changed recently or has my service man got it wrong.

 

My current Skoda maps SD card is in slot SD1, presumably that's where the replacement or updated existing card must go too, or does it matter?  Also I couldn't see anything in the 2020 thread about what happens to 'My Destinations' and where they are stored + whether 2 maps for different European regions can be stored on one 32GB SD.

Ah.  I've noticed that you can get a single map with all Europe including GB, Scandinavia & Iceland and that requires a minimum 32GB SD card  --  ECE A1 2023/2024, which is what I'd now like to go for, but I see  that's more or less how that 2020 thread started off.
