I'm glad I use Android Auto Google Maps.

It does look like Garmin are becoming very slow on all device map updates. Not that long ago my DS61 was getting 4 updates a year. Last year it had 2.

I'm thinking of using my phone in future. Not keen on having a mount though. To be fair I rarely look at the sat nav just slavishly following the sat nav lady.

I like my phone held firm, powered and available at a glance. I use Speedtrap Alert and that shows my GPS speed and my average speed for Specs zones.

The Brod8t dash clip was useless but my design is still AOK and solid, plus the wires are hidden.

I'm currently downloading map 2023.20 for my standalone DS61, arrived overnight.

Maybe a Honda map in the pipeline ?

It's not just SatNavs that become out of date, the same is true of our roads...

Garmin Express has been offering me a map update for a few months now.

According to the car I have 2022.10 and the update is 2022.10 !!!

So just for the sake of it I played it's games, downloaded the update and presented it to the car.

Just before the final OK the display said :

Current Maps 1
Available Maps 2022.10

Last time the progress bar went to 140% before rolling back to 100% when finished. This time it went to 280% !

I’ll just stick with my trusty Tom Tom which gives me live traffic and live speed cameras, including ones just being set up. Real shame as one of the reasons I ordered the new xstar was to use an integrated map system.

I don't use the Garmin either, Android Auto Google Maps for me.

I was just intrigued why it was offering me the same version I already have installed.

Garmin have very recently offered the 2023.20 for their standalone units but nothing for the Honda.

My 'guess' is that now Honda are using Here mapping for the latest cars Garmin have got the hump.

The current issue was with that "1" identifier but where that was stored I don't know. When I downloaded the starter file from  car to USB that clearly showed 2022.10

I sold mine on Ebay - big mistake. Easy if time consuming to update, easy to clip on to the windscreen with the suction pad, traffic updates etc etc.

I updated the maps on the inbuilt satnav on my Mk3 but by any stretch of the imagination this was monumentally complex and it took hours to the point where I thought if I bung somebody £100 would they do it for me (£140 at the main dealer). I've forgotten how to do it so would have to learn all over again. Just by the by they reckon almost one in three people in the UK are digitally illiterate (on the news yesterday in relation to making people go on line to deal with their GP).

I am not alone. The young guy who runs the High Peak Autos You Tube channel is an avowed tech hater. The problem with these clever people who design this crap is they assume the rest of the population have similar levels of IQ - it's why life gets more complicated with every passing day and the concept of "user friendliness" is as outdated as Noah's Ark. Don't get me started on voice controls! Only Amazon Alexa comes close to where these need to be.

Anyway, the saving grace for me is that I rarely go anywhere I haven't been before.

Rant over.

I'm glad I held onto my Garmin DS61.

Once you plot a route it has a sidebar that shows yellow and red traffic warnings for your entire route. The latest Garmin's, like Google Maps, gives you alerts but doesn't show you, on the screen, anything more than what's visible.

I'm a tech geek having spent decades working with PC's from analyst programmer (COBOL, Visual Basic, VB.Net) to systems support.

I don't like or use voice on my phone or tablet, or car, but I do use a Google Nest Mini, in a separate room so it's not able to constantly listen in, you never know.

I've sorted out quite a few PC's via TeamViewer.

One of my programs takes the PocketGPSWorld CSV database and converts it to GPX whilst performing some user set tweaks along the way to customise how the alerts work.

On a Garmin PND the standard CSV file produces an alert 36 seconds before the camera. The Garmin also does not issue a warning if you are below the speed and not accelerating. Most users want a warning for all cameras regardless.

Hence :
