Just noticed the latest map updates have appeared in myAudi. All loaded to the car via SD card without problems.
Both my car and my partners 2018 Ford Fiesta hasn't got a road that was opened in 2015. It is a common issue with maps supplied by either the manufacturers or thirty party ones and we just have to live with it. It is why many use Waze...Hi all. Have had my vehicle a couple of days so still very much getting to grips with things. Where I live we have a relatively new link road, handy for the motorway. It was completed in Summer 2017. My 2018 Audi A4 doesn't have this road on it. I tried updating the map via a USB stick but it wasn't highlighted when I cam to update. It then said update via the car, can't remember the exact words, so I tried this and it failed.
At a bit of a loss as to how I update the map and why a brand new 2018 car doesn't have the most up-to-date maps installed?
Fantastic car in every other way just taking some getting used to the MMI functionality etc.
You won't, as you've a SD based sat nav you will need to purchase a new card then have it activated by Audi. Over £400 in cost...Thanks for the screenshots Ginger, I'm definitely not seeing the map updates option in MyAudi (on both old and new beta websites). Could it have something to do with the fact that my Navigation is SD card based and requires me to visit the dealers for map updates? In that case would they just give me a new SD card? Also is it free 5 map updates in the first 3 years and then chargeable after that? How much do Audi charge per update when you've used up your free allowance?
So I won't even get free map updates for a limited time?You won't, as you've a SD based sat nav you will need to purchase a new card then have it activated by Audi. Over £400 in cost...
Unfortunately not, it has always been that way with SD based navigation...So I won't even get free map updates for a limited time?
This is probably a stupid question, but if you select Google maps as the map source, doesn't this remove the need for updating the Audi map?
True, plus anyone with Windows 10 can't use the Edge web browser as this doesn't support Java.Yes needs java as it uses this as the download tool...
Which was going to be my next question. I have one more 'free' update to come so after that I'm going to be at the mercy of the dealership unless I'm pointed to a solid reliable third party source.Also is it free 5 map updates in the first 3 years and then chargeable after that?

That said, the number of minor inaccuracies I've experienced isn't a big deal so maybe the answer is waze? did I read somewhere that the waze app is going to be available through carplay shortly?
Sorry can't help you re: cost of further map updates but yes, once iOS 12 is released (around Sept) then third party navigation apps such as Waze, Google Maps etc will be supported on Apple CarPlay. IMHO there's nothing better than using Google Maps for navigation - due to reliability, updated maps and above all, ease of use.Which was going to be my next question.

Never seen that message before as it states the same map can be downloaded any number of times. That's the website and also not the beta one?my.audi.com is saying that my maps are up to date, when I know for a fact that they're not

26 months.
And you have the upgraded version versus the SD based version? Sorry if this is stuff that you've covered but I'm just trying to see if there's any reasons behind it...
Yeah, I have the Technology Pack. I've updated the maps twice before using that terrible Java app and a USB drive. I have no idea why it thinks my car doesn't need a map update :/
