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

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!

First off:

 

1. Did you do both updates when you used Naviextras to download the maps?

2. In the GPS settings,it tells you what the map versions are.

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.
