sorry if this has been covered before, but the update seems to require a full new version of about 33Gb. Now, this wasn't a problem while I had my (expensive) Virgin 200Mb/s broadband, but I've now converted to just using a cheap mobile data (more like 15Mb/s) so large downloads more noticeable. Is their just a 'what's changed' update option?

The fact that such an option would be very useful should be enough to tell you there isn't .... :evil:

I wish! Takes me around 4-5 hours to download each ‘update’ on my 8 year old laptop despite having supposedly ultrafast broadband, although it uploads to the car in 20-25 minutes.

I will almost certainly revert to google maps or waze after the subscription runs out.

I’m a believer that if a service is offered it should work. I should’nt have to look to make it easy and use Google.. No, the customer should get the service promised.

Downloads for me are 33GB and take several hours with fibre broadband. Not sure if the USB stick write speeds or the download speed from the server are the issue. Takes around 10 mins to update the car. Why the system can't just download and update only the things changed from the previous download is baffling.

And why it needs a "download manager" that's operating system-specific, too. :(
