Map updates online

To update and download maps online, a number of criteria have to be met:

  • Access to a USB memory stick with sufficient space to execute the update in the car. The biggest map requires a 32 GB USB stick. For the exact map size, see detailed information for each map.
  • Time to download the map to the car (approx. 1-2 hours).
  • You do not have to be driving your car while you execute the update, but the ignition has to be on. If you are not driving, battery support is recommended.

Get started with map updates online

Maps are updated in two steps. First, the map is downloaded to a USB memory stick and then the map is loaded from the USB memory stick to the car. To get started, see Map download for Sensus Navigation.
