Lets see if after 3 years Nav still wants to take the long way home, wasn't it supposed to learn our commonly traveled routes?
Well, I ended up getting them today as well. Interestingly, I didn't get the msg after the car had been on WiFi all night at home... nor after it was parked in the parking garage here at work for ~4hrs (3G connected), but rather after I was parked this afternoon at lunch for 45 minutes (also 3G).Excellent. So the first time I apparently got a map update, I never got the "maps updated" msg on the screen... I eventually had the service center look while I happened to be there for some other item.
Any thoughts as to if there are some circumstances that would prevent the notification form popping up
Same here... we drive a road every day to get home. And by now, you'd think Nav would consider it a valid an preferred route rather than picking a huge circle coming back to where we are headed from the other direction. It's laughable. 2% extra battery to do that... sure.
I doubt a map update is going to fix this. Nav already knows there's a road there... it shows up on the little left hand nav window so it's in the database, always has been. But when actively navigating a destination that road is never picked even though it is the shortest route. Paved, perfectly good road.
My wife's theory is there is more traffic data collected on the big circle route and segments of it are green. Whereas our lesser traveled road does not have as much road traffic data collected so it shows "nothing" just roads (uncolored). So, Nav, naturally, thinks it is less viable route. It's as good a theory as any.
Not always. I've had two previous map updates without any notification.They are pushed separately without user intervention and when installed, there is an update message on the screen.
I'm not sure if it's coincidence but my previous map updates have been in the Dec/Jan timeframe.Do we have any history of how big past map updates have been, and how soon after the tag date they were out for downloading?
I'm wondering if this sudden push to the fleet of "old" maps has anything to do with the radar whitelist tiles...
Is there a way to check the map version from the CID? I didn't receive any notification, but I thought the maps looked more detailed when I was out this morning.Sorry, no updates yet for Australia or Japan.
It most definitely does prefer WiFi. It's huge, and they throttle it so it doesn't eat up all your bandwidth. If you start on WiFi at home, it may finish on cellular, which explains why some of you only see it once you are out away from WiFi. It can take over a week to complete in many cases, so be patient. You will eventually get it without WiFi, but it waits to see if you connect to WiFi for a period of days before it will fall back to cellular.
No unfortunately you can't. Unless you have root the best you can do is ask via email to [email protected] to let you know if you have the latest. I've tried to get them to give me the date and version but they wouldn't. @Ingineer do you know the version ID for this update?Is there a way to check the map version from the CID? I didn't receive any notification, but I thought the maps looked more detailed when I was out this morning.
