Yup that's what I'm running. Message me with email addresses and I'll try and send the file.

Not sure if this helps you can do a map search of an area in the pic to get a comparison. The new maps seem more accurate than previous, but I'm not 100% if they are actually better. I just updated them so I will share once I get to see more lanmarks and stuff. One thing I recall is that it did update alot of 3d landmarks in the update. If you don't travel out of state much I would pay for just the update for your region. $129.99 is a bit steep

Hey, thanks for uploading these 3 pictures of the new maps.  This helps.

Welcome, not a prob. I don't recall how they used to look on my last 8100 before I sold it but it does seem to be a considerable upgrade as one of the other posters mentioned. I wouldn't pay the 129.99 if you don't travel much, I would just buy the update for your region.

I have the 9.18.28.610126 version, so basically the 2015 Q2 one.  Other commentary to note, is that it now uses basic landmarks to assist with the turns as well.  For example the new version will tell you on the screen and verbally to make a "right just before the CVS Pharmacy".  That is different from the earlier version.  Also the 3D is pretty cool when you enter a major city.

the POI's at turns might be a 2015 thing... didn't have the earlyer NEX to know ..

My 8200NEX map update is crashing at 68% on California. Same issue someone stated above.

Ah, how I miss those New York shields...

I just downloaded the newest maps for my NEX8100. Don't know if this will help anyone but here is the link:

Save the folder itself to the root of the USB drive.

Thanks T

It wasn't working on my Windows box, and they are trying to figure out why... It would get about 1/2 way and then stop and error out...   till then I'll see it this works.  

So with Google drive your have to download every file in each folder?

Sorry, did not think about that I added a zip file of the folder and included files.  You just need to be sure to have the synctool folder in the root of the SD card.

I'll try that then. Has anyone had success installing?

Ditto on that question...???

Has anyone tried this as of yet?

everything works fine

Did you just copy the synctool update to a drive and hit update? no need for license or anything?

tcope paid for the maps, he included the lic files aswell as the rest that needed...surely you looked in the folder after dling.

update maps have long been written on this forum!

you are too lazy to read the forum.
