Hi,

I updated my maps for MK3 Amundsen navigation and now I can zoom in on street view only up (or down) to 30 meters.

Before it was 25 meters.

With 30m zoom you can not se the street details and some POIs don't work ☹️

Can this be fixed?

I used authorized maps from Škoda update site and official Škoda SD card.

Please advise.....

I have a 2019 SE L with Amundsen Nav and as far as I can remember 30 meters is the biggest zoom in it has ever achieved. Even with a Ebay bought official Skoda 2024 SD card all POIs are shown and a fair number of street names shown.

Hope the above is of use

I had a 25m zoom before, no doubt of that. Found some articles via AI that say something about that (quote): The 25-meter (25m) zoom level in Skoda's authorized navigation systems (and often Google Maps/Apple Maps via CarPlay/Android Auto) has become restricted or removed due to recent updates, focusing on improved, automated, or simplified map views.

So in a way, I gave myself an answer I am not fond of :(

Also:

Based on user experiences and technical updates, this change is likely due to the following reasons:

• Software Updates & Redesign: Updates to Skoda’s Columbus/Amundsen infotainment systems or newer map versions have removed the 25m zoom to promote newer 3D map views and different zoom logic.

• "Intelligent" Auto-Zoom Behavior: The map now often uses automatic, context-dependent zoom, which prevents manual, close-up zooming to ensure the display fits the current route and traffic info, particularly in CarPlay/Android Auto scenarios.

• Safety & Performance Constraints: Highly detailed, zoomed-in maps can be distracting while driving. Some users report that 25m, while useful for seeing details, has been replaced by, or limited to, a 50m minimum in some views to improve system performance and reduce driver distraction.

• Menu/Hardware Changes: The ability to use physical knobs to zoom in tightly (like the 25m zoom) has been removed or replaced in some updates, requiring users to use touchscreen pinch gestures instead.

Hi @StariBluzer Sorry to confuse you - just realised that you may be based outside the UK and I have mentioned my reading incorrectly in meters. My readings are in yards and always have been so I am still zooming down to 30 yards, or 27.4 meters.

No problem, I guess I'll have to wait for future updates and bet on Lady Luck
