I have the same problem. And no advance warning. Reading Audiforum (Thanks Glyn) it seems that the Yanks have known for a while.
Typical VW group attitude.

Info below from motor-talk.de in relation to the same issue with the A4 B9;

“Google Earth is no longer available at Audi as of 1.1.21. Models from MJ18 with Qualcom MMI receive the "satellite view" through an update.
The satellite view (as before Google Earth) is subject to a fee and part of the Audi-connect services for currently 125€/year.“

I’m guessing unless you pony up for a D5, Satellite Mapping is gone for good.
Shocking customer service from Audi if this turns out be the case.

My D4 is a 2011, unlikely that Audi are going to be bothered about a solution for a customer with a car that’s nearly 10 years old.

Interesting that they've switched to HERE. My Volvo has/had some map/nav services/apps through them and at best I'd describe them as "OK when they work...".
Fortunately the main Nav system maps and Real-Time Traffic Information comes from another source. RTTI definitely comes from INRIX, not totally sure on the mapping data, that's updated roughly every 6 months.
They used to offer "Internet Maps" on some models but that ceased at the end of 2020.

I've fitted the wakaa android auto apple carplay box to mine which has not only given me all the benefits of android auto features but also has let me use Google maps via that instead. You don't get the 3D city views but the online Google maps overlay functionality is back!
There was a group buy online which gives £40 off the normal wakaa box price so if anyone else wants to go down that route I can post the details and I'll upload a pic tomorrow of it working on Android auto on the D4 screen

Looks like it would also work on the Q7 4M, hence my interest. I already have carplay/android auto in that, but the factory one is wired only - and sadly while it works on the main screen there is no virtual cockpit/dash display.

I will take a look and see if this can plug any of the gaps

I like the look of this unit but i would require someone in the north of England (Yorkshire) to fit it. Does anyone know anywhere that could do it ?
