Not exactly the 8.1 update I was hoping for, but my maps updated today. The look of the terrain map and the street map a little bit better than before.

So what happens if you can't connect to the wireless network, which isn't an infrequent event?Which leads to the conclusion that using a navigation database in the car will never work - and why routing will probably have to shift to the cloud to get EAP/FSD to work properly and safely...
As the map display is from Google Maps, why do they not just use Google Maps routing?
Whenever I use the Google Maps app on my phone, it is excellent and always has the best route and changes automatically if it finds a faster one whilst en route.
Google doesn't offer an API for their routing/navigation, only for their maps.
I've done about 45K road trip miles using the maps, and once or twice it gave me a bad route. Also a couple of times it routed me around some really bad traffic traffic tie-ups. So I can't honestly say that I am unhappy with the maps.
I guess it thought you needed to take a breakMIne tried to turn me left into a layby yesterday and then back onto the road 200m later.
Wait... I thought it was live google map... is it not?If you're talking about the Google Maps on the 17" screen, then the update had nothing to do with them. The Map Update is for the Navigon maps that are displayed on the instrument cluster. In a different thread it was mentioned that the Map Update is actually dated Dec-2015, so the maps are already out of date.
There are two systems. The one that does the routing is Navagon (or Navigon). That's why you can route if there is no cell connectivity. The one that shows the background display and traffic is Google.Wait... I thought it was live google map... is it not?
