8200-NEX Utterly confused on how to update the Maps...


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Sorry to bring up what must be a very common question here.

I have tried to figure out how to update the internal Maps for when the iPhone(s) lose signal.

 

I have the AVICSYNC app (which sucks) and I downloaded the Q3 2016 Maps update.

Now, I "think" I updated the internal setup, but I don't really know for sure.  Also, do I have to use that abysmal AVICSYNC app all the time?  Do I need to keep the 4-5GB Maps on both the 8200 and the iPhone(s)?

Sorry, but I've read and read and I can't get a grip on it.  Also, I tried getting the Maps updates on a VM using a Mac - nothing I did would work to place it on an SD or USB Flash drive - not a portable USB HDD.

 

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated - I'm over the manual which I've read 10x.

Thanks!

Thanks, @The Radius Kid...will have a look.

You're welcome.I think it was bottom right for the maps in naviextras.The bottom left was the extras.I did maps first and noticed it.I installed the extras and then plugged it into USB 1 on the head unit.Did you do the firmware updates as well?I noticed the navigation software got REAL glitchy and hard to load after that update.
