Many of us take an interest in the arrival of a new map update but I wonder how often anyone spots a change!
I think that like me some people hope that with each update the mapping will get a little better, but sadly in the nearly 3 years I’ve owned my car there has been little or no improvement.

No update now until 21st April... When I updated to 1370, my "learned routes" (the ones I actually drive rather than the ones the satnag wants me to take) came back much more quickly... Interesting to see what happens when I stick the 1373 USB in the car...

As my year of free Voda P-SIM is finished, did this map update via USB.
I'd forgotten how painfully slow USB update is. I think the spec says USB2 (480 Mbps) but that would transfer NW Europe in under a minute. I don't think so...
I bunged the fast, high-spec USB memory stick in (after remembering the 3 files need to be in the root, not left in the Sensus Update SPA (North West Europe) folder).
Unlike an OTA download update, where you get a percentage bar for downloading and then another one for installing, much cruder for USB updates. Just a spinning wheel icon.
After 20 minutes I arrived so switched off and returned later. Did it restart or resume... who knows.
Didn't want this update hanging over me, so took the long scenic route home.
Just over *40* minutes later, the spinning wheel dissapeared.
No message to say what was happening, and examining the map in DownloadCentre/Maps still showed the old version number.
I'm hoping it has transferred from the memory stick, unzipped on the car and will be installed on next restart.
OTA updates done in the past have been much quicker. It's a bit of a pain that things only happen when the ignition is on, otherwise slow updates wouldn't really matter; plug the USB stick in and walk away.
Just hope they never update the software such that a full Europe map update is required. You'd have to drive to Moscow and back to give it the time.

You DO get the download progress bar on the Sensus download app (Why would you need it on the Display - it's all on the USB and this is an install, not a file copy). My Display shows % progress for the install, certainly when you have the "block display" on (Nav, Radio, Phone etc)... It takes exactly 30 minutes to do the NW Europe 53GB install, and has done with all the updates in the last year.
