MZD-Connect map updates

[Southern Teuchter]

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!

Strange; I just checked mine today and it says that it's up to date...

[kroma]

No update here either

Free map updates, not much use when they're out of date anyway.  I've paid for traffic updates, but a waste of money.

Just thought I would check for a update, normally a straight forward event.

Well an update was offered and I accepted, now I have a tiny irritating window with what appears at the moment a much more complicated navigation of the services.

Why o why do we have these constant changes often with no benefit to the user.

Window systems to me for example have improved nothing since win XL, I still have that on my old laptop using file manager is a doddle using that version, IMO.

So moan over can anyone see an improvement with the latest toolbox? (I've also lost my desk top icon)

Hi all, facing the same issue and decided to e-mail Mazda Customer Service (Netherlands in my case) and they responded promptly with the following information:

Code: [Select]

Tevens informeren wij u graag dat volgende updates gepland staan:

verwacht nieuwe update            :              augustus (2016)
volgende update verwacht        :              november/december 2016

Although in Dutch, I think you can guess what it says, expected new update: august 2016, next expected update date: november/december 2016

So 2 updates in a short time, let's hope this info is correct!

Cheers!

Bedankt voor deze info!

FYI, have literally just plugged my SD card in and - finally - there is an updated Europe map available. Downloading as I type this...

Hi BigAl, you are correct, the update is around since about 5 days. However...

Don't expect to much from it. We go from 'November 2015' to '4th quarter of 2015' (Yes 2015) 

Major highway road (A4 Netherlands, Schiedam <> Delft) opened december 2015 is not included. I noticed a couple of corrections, so it's an update, but too old (in my opinion)

I'm very disappointed about the update frequency. And once they update it, maps are at least 9-12 months old...

I do not want to be negative, but I just downloaded the updates myself and found out:
It was a quite big update, but looking into the SD-card shows :  MazdaEur2015_Q4, modified 08/09/2016.

So one might assume the maps are still from the 4th quarter of 2015?

[bvdijk]

Hallo p38cyq,

We must've replied at almost the same time (read my previous comment), we noticed the same...
No doubt it is 2015-Q4 (What a shame!)



I did ask Mazda about this, they sent me to my dealer, the dealer says sorry, we know, please contact Mazda. And there it ends... (I gave up)

Just done the download and update.  Size of the file has increased by about 1% (6721mb to 6786mb).

Bedankt bvdijk.

However, I do not get your screen?

Since the MZD Toolbox update, I do not have a "snelkoppeling" (shortcut)  anymore on my PC, in order to access the MZD Toolbox I need to download the .exe from Mazda's website - over and over again.

Anybody has the same problem? BigAl, please comment?

[BigAl]

Hmmmm...
That's a different screen to the one I get. I opened the Mazda toolbox then plugged the card in. I then had to update the toolbox software before checking for updates. I don't remember seeing anything that said what date the update actually was?

Wonder if the UK update is different to Europe?

Annoyingly, my car now tells me that I'm over the speed limit on many of the local roads as they seem to be incorrectly labelled as having a 20mph limit rather than the correct 30mph!

I downloaded the update yesterday.

Near me there's a new link road, the A5758 which forms part of my commute. It was opened in August 2015, and was on the TomTom map system since early 2015.
I was hoping this would be included so I can get traffic updates for my drive home, but it still isn't. Strange that the supporting construction work - an existing road was rerouted and a new roundabout built - is included in the update.
