Navigation Maps - M20 J10A on the latest? ...
1) Is there anyone looking at this forum any more? :D
2) If so, has anyone got the latest 2020 or 2020/2021 maps? I'm on the relatively recent 2018/2019 maps but I live in Kent about 400 yards from the new M20 J10A which was 'completed' last December. [M20 J10A is an addition to the original M20 J10, about 1/4 mile nearer to Folkestone with a completely revised road layout between them]. Is it possible to determine whether or not J10A is on the 2020 and/or 2020/2021 maps? Regards - Julian |
I'm still here Julian but have no idea on the map scene. Sorry

I have 2020 maps on my S5 and 2020/21 on my Golf, so if you can confirm junction number I'll try and have a look when I've got the cars to hand. Adrian |

Attached is a current map from Google Maps on Windows: J10 - top left J10A - bottom right New Roundabout - bottom left The A2070 used to run direct to J10 with no roundabout. It now runs to both J10 & J10A via the new roundabout. My 3G+ 2018/9 map shows the old route ... Regards - Julian PS Is the S5 you have running 3G+ |

OK, will have a proper look tomorrow The S5 is on 3G high, but the maps files themselves are the same for 3G+ +++ |
Have checked again on the maps on both cars - the S5 is running 6.30.1 2020 maps. The Golf is running the half yearly 2020/21 maps. Neither feature the new junction 10A layout, so no point updating specifically for that I'm afraid

Looks like you saved me a load of money as that was the only trigger to update my relatively recent 2018/2019 maps. It's very strange though as the road layout's been in place for over a year and in use for over 10 months. I wonder at what stage the road layout change is communicated to whoever looks after mapping data. Regards - Julian |
There's usually a 12 month lag between changes to the road network being reflected in base maps by e.g. OS. Add 6 months for whoever compiles those changes into a map database for Audi/VW, and possibly another 6 months for the change to be compiled into a revised map database......
The likes of Google Maps (and Waze, which Google now own) update based on user data, which shows a sufficient volume of vehicles doing strange manoeuvres where no road appears to exist, and then send out a survey vehicle to check what has changed. Hence they're much quicker to update. |

A bit off topic but Google Maps seem to be more up to date with new roads/ layouts than Waze but Waze responds faster to traffic/accidents, especially when traffic clears up. |
