There's a couple of new roads in Bedford still not on v16!

From memory, I just burned the file to a DVD-R, shoved it into the RNS and it did the rest.  It takes ages and there is no acknowledgement it's completed either.  It's a bit of a vague and crap process.

In all honesty, I get on better with Apple or Google maps.  I don't miss my RNS510 one bit  :grin:  I have a rubber case on my phone and just put in the middle of the clocks, it doesn't slide around.  A poor man's version of VAGs new hybrid clocks  :grin:

Sounds a bit crazy.

If you know the road hasn't been updated, why does it matter  :grin:

Didn’t know the new one was out already, but the V15 update last year was no different to the V14 maps for roads around where I live, with several missing roads or postcodes and quirks like it doesn’t know you can turn right from a certain road and tries to make you go a longer way than necessary.
Personally I don’t think it’s the best nav but it is convenient to have it permanently in the car having used removable windscreen mounted ones in the past.

Because there is a high probability roads you don't know haven't been added either  :wink:   

When I say 'new' roads in Bedford, they were built over 2 years ago.

Google maps is updated constantly.  VW maps?  Once a year?

It's Navteq that makes the maps. They should do a better job... like consult Google Maps before issuing a new update! :signLOL:

Are the POI and speed cameras built into the maps or are they separate files?
