Is there a map update available? — AVIC411 Forum Archive

As the topic says, I am wondering if there is a map update available for the F900BT. I just bought mine this past weekend, and love it. The only thing is that some of the roads in my area aren't on the map properly (some are only halfway there and then the GPS thinks the road disappears). I would think an updated map would be available via disk or download from somewhere.

Any help would be appreciated.

Very interesting. That would pretty much утынгкуб а true, that we are getting iGO 8.3. 8.0 only uses TeleAtlas maps...

The official XM logo updates are supposedly coming in April along with the new map updates. Lot of folks were complaining about having to pay (for the maps) to get the XM logos which they felt should have been free.

I didn't search for the specific thread, but dig around the XM folders to find it.

The latest mapudates for igo8 (2008.4) are already possible on the AVIC.

They have cracked the license file. So you can install the latest map updates.

Search on this forum for more info.

Not everyone wants to have to hack their unit to get the latest maps :roll:

No it's not for the launcer. I installed it three weeks ago.

The latest maps only work with Igo version 8.3. But the 2008.4 work with Igo 8 on our Avic.

Good luck with copying the maps onto the unit.. It takes a while..
