« on: June 16, 2016, 12:11:20 pm »
By my reckoning we are overdue the latest 6 monthly map update. Has anyone seen any info on it's release?

Just checked the update page on the website and that's correct - the last update was Nov 2015. Might put a post on their Facebook page...

Cheers BigAl. By the way, where are you looking to see the details of the last update? Do you have a link for future reference please?

I enquired via the Mazda CS webpage, response below:

"The map updates are supplied to us by both Mazda Europe and Mazda Japan. We are not given a date in which the updates will be available and are just sent over the software when it has been constructed.

 

I would recommend either continuing to check for these updates on the Mazda Toolbox, or alternatively, staying in contact with your local approved Mazda dealership who will be made aware once the update is available."

I't's here, but it may not work for you as I was logged in when looking at this? It should point you in the right direction, though.

Thanks again Al, twice ;D. I am a bit peeved that the only way (that I can see) to check for updates is to keep plugging my SD card into the computer, I've done it several times now over the last couple of weeks & am just a bit nervous that the constant plugging/unplugging from both car & PC could lead to eventual problems with the card or the cars ability to read it. I'm sure I'm probably worrying about nothing but hey I'm one of lifes worryers  ???. I'm also a bit annoyed at what I was lead to believe would be 6 updates over the 3 yr free update period (1 every 6 months) is likely to be at least one less!

You're welcome. I don't think that repeated unplugging, etc, would do any harm - it didn't on my first one (TomTom system) over the 3 years/70K miles and I was probably updating that every couple of weeks (it worked differently to MZD).

Have posted a question on Mazda Facebook page, no reply as yet...

Agreed.  These cards are designed to cope with thousands or tens of thousands of insertions/removals - don't worry.  They were originally designed for use in cameras after all.

You always have the option to backup your original; restore can then be done without problems.

I personally used a backup from my original SD-card to a faster medium, a class 10 SD; the original still works OK, but the newer card loads the Nav much faster.

Aha! An answer from Mazda, albeit a vague one...

Mazda UK Thanks for the enquiry, we’re hoping to have a map update shortly yet currently no specific dates available. Is there a particular feature or just waiting for the latest mapping? We’re here on 03457 48 48 48 if you’d like to discuss

OK I'll stop worrying about the card & will look into getting a backup too.

Al, it's good that you got a reply so swiftly just a shame that it was so vague as you say. If there's no update in a couple of weeks I think I'll go down the Facebook message route too just to keep the pressure on & let them know that there's more of us out here waiting on the 'promised' updates.

 UPDATE AVAILABLE 04/07/16 Have just checked for updates again & I have an update available, it says it's dated Nov' 15 but as there was nothing there last week I'm hoping that's just an admin' error on the data providers part!

Same here, the thing is in the last few weeks when I've plugged the SD card into the computer & checked for updates I've received a message along the lines of 'your card is up to date', however when I plugged the card in today I got a message to say that there was an update available it was just that it was dated as Nov' 15 hence me saying hopefully it's just an admin thing & should have said July 16?
Anyway I installed it but a quick look on the way home from work didn't show anything that I could say had changed so who knows.

I'll check the file size before I update mine, hopefully they will be a difference.
