GaMatt72 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi everyone.. I just joined after searching for a long time on fixes for this 850. Wife and I bought a SUV with a 850 installed. The maps are out of date and the tracking of the GPS are WAY off. I am no computer expert so if someone can help please do so... I see the thread starter has a download for maps but I am not sure how to do this... Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Step 6: The update will take approximately 45 minutes. Step 7: Once update is complete, paypal a donation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaMatt72 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I can use a micro SD card to just insert it in the radio right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
