Sat Nav

I have a MK7 golf GTD, this morning i noticed it was telling me which direction i was travelling, i.e. north, east..... So i went onto to my maps and it said i needed to insert a medium.... checked my glove box and the memory card is not there, i know for sure that i have not removed this. I used the maps 2 days ago, my friend was in the passenger seat, having a general nosey he went in glove box, whilst i dont think he has took it, i cant be sure.

can someone tell me that if it was removed after start up, would the maps continue to work until the car was turned off, after i dropped him off, i used the navigation to get out of his estate.

I am baffled and its all i have thought about all morning, even phones VW and was quoted £115 for a new card.

Any opinions?

Regards

Andrew

You don’t need to buy another original SD card. Use one of 15-32Gb and download the last version from the Volkswagen page. The maps are free. Only the Traffic costs.

Thanks, i have just read on here that the discover pro does not use a SD card, this is what i have, do you know if this is correct or not?

Did not realize we can update our maps for free. Good to know.

Free? They don't have a 2018 option and the 2017 option on their page says to visit your local dealership to purchase.

Interesting.

Not that I need an update yet, since I've got a 2018, but I was just poking around. Do you have another URL?

If you have the big screen "pro" sat nav, you don't need a "VW" SD card.....it either downloads them direct of the internet (MIBII)..or you download on computer & then transfer to the car on any SD card..

i have actually just went to the car park work and the maps loaded up, but no traffic info.

its baffling me as to why it was not working this morning but is now, maybe satellite problems or something.

I will have it on on my drive home for sure.

Thanks

Can't say I've ever had it happen myself, but these systems do play up.

Also, remember that traffic data comes from the FM tuner (Classic FM if I recall) so if you have poor reception, the traffic data won't show up for a little while.

I would recommend updating the maps if you haven't already done so, just incase there's any corruption going on. Unlikely, but it won't hurt
