Hi all,

I have searched in vain for a way of displaying the current map version on my Avic-f30bt but am yet to find a way.

I can display the software number but not the map version, can anyone help?

Kind Regards

Paul

Thanks all plenty of views but no help!!!

what is your software version? The map version is likely tied to that, as major versions of software come with map update.

So for F30BT, you will either have 3.xxx or 4.xxx version.

3.xxx = 2011 maps

4.xxx = 2012 maps

I have version 4 software which I updated with the update downloaded from on of your posts on this site.

I have scrolled through a route which I take occasionally and the new road which has been there since the begining of 2012 and had been planned since 2010 stil does not exist.

Obviously the mappers omitted this rather important road change in their mapping.

I pressume they are selling old maps as new. I am just glad I did not pay for the map update at £119

the maps were from teleatlas, but now from navteq starting with 2012.

All of these map providers have websites where anyone can submit corrections/additions to pois, routes, streets, etc. They also collect their street/map data from various private and public sources. The map data is only good as the data they collect. If you submit some corrections, you might see it on the next yearly update.
