I updated my maps DVD to a 2009 and was slightly surprised to be travelling on green fields (according to the Sat Nav) driving south of Reims last year (must have been a new section of autoroute) - does anyone know if it is possible to check when the maps were last updated - I don't want to pay for the latest disc if the maps are the same ?

there is a 2010/2011 update available , mapping only no firmware update...... ... - .- -.

I think there is a 2011/2012 DVD available from the usual suspects too now.

my bad, yes it is the 2011/12 which is the latest.. ... - .- -.

Scarey, I have not updated mine for a while what version do i need to get a firmware upgare and would i benefit form it? TD6 2005 with Touchscreen

Thanks in advance

you'll get newer mapping and some new bits on the screen and tbh of which i cant remember cos i upgraded mine when i got my range ...but you do loose the nav on the go function..

this is the 2009/10 disc, the 2011/12 disc only has new maps.. ... - .- -.

Question....

If one upgrades to the latest maps and firmware, is it possible to re-enable the 'nav on the go' functionality or is it gone for good?

I find myself changing/entering destinations whilst on the move quite a lot (and not just to places I know about in advance!) - equally my original discs (2007MY) really are now pretty out of date!!

once you stick the 2009/10 disc in then you cant re-enable the nav on the go function, the new firmware takes care of that...

now if you bypass that disc and upgrade to the mapping only 2011/12 disc then 'possibly' you'll still have that function but i dont really know tbh... ... - .- -.
