Para045 Member 35 Member For: 15y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 18/08/15 06:30 PM Share Posted 18/08/15 06:30 PM So I bought a 2012 XR6T with luxury pack last November and love it, the only thing that is a little annoying is that the sat nav is a bit out of date as far as roads and speed limits goes for here in WA.I did a search but didn't find anything relevant! Is there any way of updating the maps other than going to a Ford Dealer and being raped $200 plus for an updated map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has all sorts of alerts whenever I get near fixed-location speed cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of makes things seem less broken on PSB in comparison Edited 20/08/15 12:23 AM by Para045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty XR6T Donating Members 516 Member For: 14y 8m 23d Gender: Male Posted 13/11/15 03:31 AM Share Posted 13/11/15 03:31 AM was there by any chance any new news on the Sat Nav map updates?I know behind it all is iGo and the MKII doesn't have an SD card, you have to update VIA the USB port in the center console.I have downloaded the maps off the car to USB, but am currently struggling to get any new updated map files back on the car.
