Just checking for the lastest version of the sat nav and everything refers to 2017! There is even information about the improvements between the 2016 and 2017 versions. The current system is now over 18 months out of date. Utterly ridiculous.

That sounds about right for their crappy satnav. Roads constructed only 3 years ago are far too new to be on it.

Yeah, it’s funny when you go down one of these newish roads and the satnav thinks you’re in a field or something.

It went one better than that this time for me. We were heading for South Queensferry outside Edinburgh and the sat-nav said take the first exit at the roundabout and then immediately first left again. First left was fine, but then there was no "first left again". The road layout had changed completely with completion of the Queensferry Crossing (which opened nearly a year ago) but by the time I realised I was heading north over the Forth. At least we got to look around North Queensferry before returning over the bridge and driving down into South Queensferry. I'm just very grateful that there are no bridge tolls in Scotland or I would have been severely out of pocket. :)

100% agree they need to do an update at least once every six months at a sensible price to the customer, tbf I use waze alot for work as we're using Co pilot and that's well out of date like the Nissan maps, but for a free phone sat nav you can't beat waze even proper ones are not as good

What p's me off is that I bought a Garmin sat nav a couple of years ago for around £100 and that comes with map updates for life. Nissan want to charge over £100 each time they update, and the update is still likely to be a year or more out of date!

Do the android thing folks. Harry and another couple have.
That's my next plan. Then dump the connect2 into my Vivaro and buy an eBay card at £40+.
I certainly wouldn't trust my 2014 SD card for ANYTHING!!

What do you mean by 'do the Android thing'?

Sorry kt, 2din stereo options. I had previously thought about swapping car to van and upgrading the car but will await the latest SD card for maps and just put it into my car. The new stereo will be bought for the van since that's where the main driving is done. I did look into Sony etc but for cost and a replacement fascia I'll do the cheap one below.
