Interesting ! I have looked in the sat nav manual that came with the car, and there is nothing in there about how to update it.
So I got on to MG UK, and asked them. They told me to go and ask my dealer. Not a good response from a car manufacturer, and I told them so.
So a run around the houses, as Parks don't give out e-mail addresses, but half an hour spent on their "chat to us" feature, with someone else who didn't know how to do it, still brought no enlightenment, but they promised me the techies would be in touch. Still waiting.
Then I got a reply from MG who had received my unhappy response to their unhelpful information. They told me that MG actually have nothing to do with the satnav programme in their cars, and that I should visit the website
www.naviextras.com where I should find how to update my satnav, but I might have to pay for it.
Went to the website, but I think you would need a degree in Computer Science to understand and use that site, which seems to say that I have to download something to my computer which will do the update. No mention of how much it will cost. Too complicated for me. I have an IQ of 128, and an honours degree, plus qualifications to command ships of any size anywhere in the world, but I couldn't make any sense of how to do what they said.
I suspect the dealership would do it for me if I paid them handsomely for it, but I don't understand why I should have to pay. My last two cars with satnav on board updated automatically with no charges, or visits to dealerships !
At the very least one would expect that if there is no automatic update in the car, then it would be done as part of the annual service .... free ! Just had the car have its first service last month as it is a year old, but no update to the satnav.
Why am I teed off at this ? Because last week I had scheduled a meeting in another town, but when I went to put the address and post code into MG's satnav, it did not recognise either the address or postcode, as the meeting location was built less than five years ago apparently. I was late for the meeting !
First black mark against MG, but it's a big one. Not impressed
