i3 Map Update Reminder

Steve148 · Occasional Visitor Joined: Oct 21, 2006 Posts: 18

Hi - Relatively new member of this brilliant community, many thanks to regulars who've made it indispensable. I bought an i3 in November 06, and am generally very happy with it. Subscribed to PGPSW camera database, and that works really well.

The one problem I have is that the unit has recently started telling me at every start-up that the maps are out-of-date (bought with "City Navigator Europe NT+ v8 - Region 3 (Ger/Czk), Sept 05").

I don't need to update for my travel needs, so is there any way I can permanently stop this annoying 'nag screen'?

Many thanks for any suggestions -

Steve

This has just reminded me that since I downgraded to V2.7, the reminder doesn't appear anymore, like it did with V3.2.

Strange, but bloody great!

ANother plus for V2.7! :D

Hi all thought I'd share this tip with all who are getting the message that their maps are out of date on the i3. Hold down all the three buttons on the unit at the same time for a short while (with the unit turned off). You will get a message come up saying clear data click yes. You may have to try more than once, it didn't work for me first time....You may want to try and update to the latest V 3.20 maps first I did this a couple of months ago. Once done take the unit out and get a fix on the satellite you may have to wait while it gets a fix. The downside it removes all of your recent finds and favourites, good in a way it cleans up the unit. It did not remove any poi's or speed camera uploads they were still there. In other words it returned my unit to as if I had just got it new out of the box but with the last version update still on with no more map update message on start up...............Mick

Ah, thanks for that, Paul. I have worried about losing my Favs ever since I got my i3. No longer! Dead easy to use too!

Now I can get rid of that annoying map update message! Thank you SlowhandMick for the info on that as well.

Hi, I have an i3 with 2.7 which I thought would stop the map update notices, however apparently not!
Is there another way to stop the map update notice permanently (as opposed to pressing all 3 buttons) please?

Thanks,
Jeddy
