Sat Nav Update
Have been away, so updated my map this morning, took 40 minutes with no problems. Guess I was lucky
Out of curiosity, I ran the Mazda Toolbox earlier this evening and found there is a new update available for my SD card - the information on the Toolbox screen said "Content: Map of Europe .... Released in webstore: 2016 December" So after backing up the SD card, I tried the running the install process. The download took the usual ages from the Mazda server (must be an old Apple 1 they are using) - in fact it was even slower than last time and got to 97% in almost 1.75 hours (!!!) before crashing out ((( Will retry again at some point, hopefully others will have more success.
Edit: Just finished retrying. This time the download only took 30 minutes lol. The install took another 45mins. The Licence information shown on the SD diagnostic listing remained unchanged [Mazda FEUR NQ 2015 Q4 and Mazda FEUR NQ 2016 Q2] and the Rights remained unchanged [Map of Europe 2016 Q2]
The space taken up on the card went up from 6786MB to 6898MB which was a larger increase than the previous time so hopefully more updated roads information.

Just checked and I've got an update. So much for the Mazda 'we'll inform you of an update'
I fully agree. They have the e-mail stored on their system so holding the current version when the user last updated their SD card should be a simple process. This can then be compared when the new release is made and generate an automatic e-mail advising a user of the new release.rockposer wrote:Just checked and I've got an update.

If it is anything like my experience, the best of luck with the long drawn out download and install process

I was told by Mazda UK that I'd be emailed upon release of a new map!
Well all updated, took about 30 minutes.
