New Version of Mazda Toolbox Out and New January and December 2019 EU Map

[Gel]

I have slow speed, so always takes 4 or 5 hours; 1st 2 attempts stalled, on day
I received update e mail, annoyingly at 83%.

Mazda's map contractors responded to my moan, saying that I needed to wait for the new
TOOLBOX to d/load; this should have been available before they issue the new map notification
e mail.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I moaned to HERE about out of date content on new maps on my Qashqai, they said
the delay in issuing fresh content, was down to NISSAN having to validate content,
ie were always at least 12-18 months out of date.

Like poster above, I was puzzled that HERE's website mapping was very up to date,
(recall it's updated daily or weekly) yet newly issued HERE SD Maps didn't reflect this.
Always struck me as odd statement, as the car maker is not a mapping expert.

New version of Mazda Toolbox released version 5.0.0.2002151628 for MZD Connect. No idea what the improvements are although it will automatically update when you open the application.

Just noticed there's an updated set of maps available - dated Jan 2021.  I've just tried the update (more than once) and get an error:
HTTP Status 500 -
type Exception report

Hopefully Mazda will pick up on this and it'll be resolved soon.

This is a known problem; whenever MZD "sees" that you try to update your 8 Gb SD card this error occurs.

For the time being the only working solution is to use a 16 Gb card : you copy everything on the old card to the new card; the new card then updates correctly.
I did it myself yesterday, this works 100%.

My 2019 came with a 16gb card fortunately; updated in around an hour this time. Previously when on slow 2.5-3 mbps ADSL connection was a good 5 hours Now on Mobile Home broadband with a 25mbps d/load speed much less painful.

Having trouble getting the UPDATED disc to clone (use the free Aomei App) to a spare 32gb disc; always worked in car, as soon as installed- not this time.

 After inserting, it says my car doesn't come with a Satnav system ; tried again, same result.
Looking at some of folders on copied SD, they're either empty or the one called "Label", hasn't got
Map version in there, just lots of "x"'s.
Annoying.

I have just updated the satnav with the January 2021 update. I thought I would let the rush die down a bit and wasn't going anywhere for a while anyway. It took about 20 minutes for the toolbox to recognise the sd card then 4 hours to download and 30minutes to install. Not what I would call speedy. I have a fairly modern laptop running Windows 10 with an 11ac wifi card. The wifi router is a BT 6 model and my BT internet download speed averages at 75mbs. This slow download must be a problem with Mazda. It reminded me of downloading microsoft updates when using dial-up in the distant past.

Mazda Toolbox : New maps version june 2021 is now out, toolbox has been updated too.
Downloads @ 150 Mbps, if your ISP provides this speed.

Left my SD card to update whilst I took mutt out, as I guess it'd take couple of hours at 21mbps speed.
Came back to attached; however, when going back, it showed it had d/loaded satisfactorily, and proceeded then to install.
All OK so far



Edit :-  Please read post below. Thank you

Wonder if there is advice on the Map updates. Decided to update mine (16GB card). Installed toolbox on Windows PC. Insert the card and nothing happens.
Any advice how to initiate an update?

Just did it. Started Mazda Toolbox, reply : there is a new version etc, installed the new version.
Inserted the SD card, was recognized, update took some 12 mins.

Took me some search on google to solve the issue - apparently my desktop was installing Toolbox into 'profile'. So had to remove it, install again as 'administrator' and then run as 'administrator'. Update happened nicely after that.

Hopefully my experience can help others as well.
