Use to work on the basis that a three year upgrade would be adequate untill on the mib2 high got the FeC altered so I could do it as and when. Need another Exciter for the Mib1, the guy that sorted out the mib2 standard. He used a bin walker to do that - that's what he said in the text which is how he came to the file. I reckon that's how the Palestinian guy extended the mib2 standard workaround for an imported European VW to Pallestine where the T6forum method on using maps outside of the zone didnt work on later VW units even with the standard workaround. Exciter workaround works with some standard heads on out of zone maps but not the latest ones. So he must have bin walked that to know exactly which additional files needed to be looked at. Needs someone with a mib1 standard to do the bin walking trick for the greater good. May be it's been tried. Pass. Till then it's coughing up or using alternatives.
Sygic uses TomTom cartography on the Android app, you get free updates twice a year on that or pay more for monthly. They have some roads I gave them recently that they have published so their bottleneck on user supplied stuff they have sorted out. Co-pilot uses Here Maps cartography. Again free updates twice a year. Offline mapping. Bought all of the world maps they offer on both systems for travelling.
Here We Go is Here Maps version of Google Maps. That takes online travel reports and road sensing data.
I'm an Android / Windows person, pass on Mac stuff. Play
store gives costs. Here We Go is free, ditto Google Maps. Sygic and Co-pilot, not free off line handy for planning those foreign trips when we had them, so you set up your favourites, hotels etc, route plan. Japan you use Navicon which interfaces with Japanese infotainment units in Japan, they have their own grid system. Took one trip to work that out. Easy after I discovered Navicon.
