MG5 Preface Satnav Updates

[JasonSivyerUK]

Hey MG lovers,

Iv had my MG5 for a year now and the built in Satnav situation has been bugging me.

Naviextras only supports Thailand and the software doesn't work. The Europe version is no longer available. And there seems to be no intention of MG doing a software upgrade to allow new software.

So Does anyone have a working program on their PC that can be copied. Or even the downloaded maps that are somewhat up to date.....

If not does anyone have any connections to the MG engineers. I can't imagine writing an update is that hard.....

Looks like the software address has changed. New one is new.naviextras.com.

I downloaded it and it lets you register now.

Software recognized my 32gb usb stick that was prepared by the car. Happy to post photos on a "how to" if needed.

Maps from NNG are available in Europe but it's £115. Anyone done this yet?

Might take the plunge and download the maps. See if it works.

Have you thought of using Android Auto/Carplay and some free maps? TomTom on android is only £20 a year and includes live traffic, speed cams and updates for life are free.

I have indeed but I like a challenge

So I took the plunge but hasn't worked yet. It gets halfway and then restarts. Checked the sw version and it doesn't update.

I'm looked through the files and it all seems ok. Wondering if I need to edit something to make it work??

I've never got my head round paying for a satnav when there is Google Maps, Waze and others for free with updates, speed cams, live traffic and alerts all thrown in.

Maybe there's too much Yorkshire crept into my southern soul.
