![]() 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.

I just bought and installed the 2021 maps and MMI update. I think my original map was 2016. Don't know if it's any better yet as i have not had a chance to go anywhere. I do know that on my original map when i drove to Newcastle that on a few occasions my sat-nav thought i was driving through a field. This was because they have upgraded the A1M and needed to install some new sections of road. The next time i go there i should know if my update is any better.
Original 2021 update

6.31.1 are 2020/21 maps (so the 'half way through the year' update) - same map my S5 has installed.
The maps files are available online from various hooky sources, but require an activation file as well. Mostly when done once you don't need to re-activate for future map updates. @H-M3 - I can still help you out with yours ![]() Not sure when Audi are stopping updates for these systems, as I'd expect full 2021 maps to have been out since October '20 but suspect they've not released.

Wow; that was quick!
Yes, that's what the road system is like now. I presume that's the 2021 map but I don't recognise the mapping format; I presume the S5 is different than the A8? Thanks - Julian

Mine’s a B8 S5 so that’s MMI 3G rather than 3G+
I couldn’t find a way to get to the junction apart from by scrolling across the map with the tiny thumb mouse on top of the click wheel 😂 They are 2021 maps on it
