Sat Navy update?

[acemelhaz]

Are there any updates to the sat nav as it's very out of date with speed cameras etc?

According to Gemini AI

MG navigation updates are primarily managed via the Naviextras Toolbox using a USB drive to download maps and transfer them to the vehicle. Most modern MGs (ZS EV, MG4) receive 5 years of free updates from the warranty start date. The process involves preparing a USB in the car, downloading updates on a computer, and reinstalling.

Agh, I see it is PC only for MGS6. Not helpful.

I agree. I use a Chromebook so It's no good for me either. I'll stick to using Google maps.

Interesting really that other models are supported, you'd think it would be same apps for all.

This is where AI is kind of useless. The newer models aren't supported by Naviextras (MG4, MGS5, MGS6)

I read elsewhere on this forum that MG had moved to a new provider for the maps.

 

[brucie]

Well it turns out that MGS6 EV maps are updated onboard so no need for PC at all.

I find the satnav unusable in dark mode, which I prefer, you can't see any detail on the screen, so I stick to Google Maps, it's never failed me yet.

I bet I can guess the response from the MG dealer when you ask for the sat-nav to be updated and it won't be a positive reply.
