    Here are 12 additional links of amazing pictures I took of the 2013 TeleAtlas Maps version from my AVIC-Z120BT:

    Does anyone have a picture of the maps and how they look? Are they all nice and 3d like the old teleatlas maps? or more plain like the new nex series?

     

    wanting the 3d fancy ones like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1BKs9PM9JwBLVdPazFILS1oME0/view

     

    and can you enter cross streets to search? or do you have to enter the full address

    That is highly interesting how you are asking the same exact questions as me, and also, how you acquired the exact photograph I took.

    Insulting people is no way to get help. Speaking for myself, I only respond to questions when I can add knowledge.  I know nothing about the NEX unit.  Maybe 3D was not turned-on in the settings. 

    Would you mind explaining details regarding how I was insulting? According to my original message, I was actually outrageously kind and thankful. Also, 3D actually 'was' turned on in the settings.

    I never received a response to my original question. Would somebody require money just for a simple response? If so, let me know how much, and instructions on where to send payment in advance. The following was my original question: 

     

    I have read this entire thread very carefully. I would like to thank all the great people that participated and offered their invaluable feedback. 

    I have the AVIC-Z120BT with the 2013 TeleAtlas Maps and the 5.0 firmware. I am exorbitantly happy with it. I strictly use the GPS and my iPod Classic 500GB with it, and 'nothing' else whatsoever. I have just one simple question, and would be immensely grateful to whoever would respond. I sampled the new AVIC-8200NEX at an authorized dealer who had it on full display. Since I knew in advance that the new systems and updates converted from TeleAtlas Maps to HERE Maps, I was curious to experience the actual difference. First of all, the primary reason I love the 2013 TeleAtlas Maps so much, is because, the graphics of the maps are so richly detailed and beautiful. And when I drive around in downtown, it gets ten times better. The numerous amounts of 3D buildings are HUGE and insanely detailed in such a gorgeous manner. When I sampled the HERE Maps in the new 8200NEX, I was devastated to see that the exotic richness in graphics were completely stripped bare, and 100% of all the detailed beautiful 3D buildings in downtown were completely eliminated!!! I was thinking...."What kind of FOOL would actually eliminate all this beautiful eye-candy!!!" It was a complete deal-breaker for me. But the only positive thing I witnessed about it {which was actually a MASSIVE improvement beyond belief} was, you can actually manually enter cross-streets of your choice as a form of direct destination!!! I was absolutely amazed by this, because, this feature is completely non-existent in the TeleAtlas Maps. So, there is both a huge positive and negative simultaneously. 
     
    My question is: Does this 2015 Map Update allow the AVIC-Z120BT to look and operate 'exactly' as I witnessed it on the new AVIC-8200NEX? And are there any other notable improvements that would make it similar to the AVIC-8200NEX?

    Ok so a BIG,BIG,BIG thanks to everyone that put all the hard work an time into this for us.

    I have updated my frimware from 2.003 to 6.000 an to the 2015 USA CANADA MAP on my Avic Z120BT. I can not confirm about the other units but for the Z120 it was a piece of cake to do. I am by no means savvy at stuff like this so if I can do it anyone can. It is very straight forward and easy to do. If you read over this whole thread you will get all the answers you need.  An again a big thanks to everyone. I am very GRATEFUL TO YOU ALL!!!!! 

     

    So this is what I did for my Avic  Z120BT.

     

    1. Downloaded this, click the blue link here for newer units    z130bt, z140bh, x930bt, x940bt - newer units    

     

    2. Once you have finished the download extract the files if need so. I didn't have to as Im on a Mac. You may have to extract the files if you are on a PC not sure about that.

     

    3.Then open up the 2015 USA CANADA MAP UPDATE folder you downloaded. Find the CardInfo.CIF file then open the file with a text editor. Delete all the text and replace it with this info below. Copy from the # to the G in the text below.

    4.  Then Copy  the UPDATE, FIRMWARE folders and the edited CardInfo.CIF  to the root of a freshly formatted FAT32 SD card larger then 4GB.

     

    5. Then insert it into your unit an then hit ok to update. This will take about 25 minutes to do an you must leave the vehicle running to update.

     

    6. After your uint boots back up an you finish the units setup go into the bluetooth setting an then hit update firmware. This will take about 10 to 15 minutes to finish.

     

     

     

    DONT FORGET TO THANK THE OTHER USERS FOR THIER TIME IN MAKING THIS HAPPEN.
