Wow great thread !! Awesome to see this much activity.
I’ve just picked up my Cupra R ST today and very disappointed to see how outdated the maps are in my area. I have a Europa 1 v7 sdcard.
My unit is
6P0919866AF
1030
ECE1 2018/19
SHIELD 2016-34 (build 309)
I’d love to be able to update the maps.
Can I do it on my system ?
If so where is the post with the latest instructions on
how to do this ?
I’ve read many pages of this thread but it’s quite hard to find out actually what I need to do.
Latest source map files are in post 1693

In post 1695 the method
This file will not give a Seat part number but it is not an issue. The other zones release have Seat part numbers. You will see 5F rather than 6P.

Those who want to give it a 6P part number feel free to edit with Notepad but it happily work without an edit. You can also give it the name of your current release and name etc but not required.
Post 1601 I covered where this field comes from using Exciter's original post on the "workaround":
https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/navigation-system-updates.388586/page-81
In all instances of the workaround do copy the SD card off and it's a good idea to save the original Overall.NDS file in it's own directory since you will need this with each map update. Putting it in a mock directory indexing into it acts as a crib sheet:
eg.
C:\Users\xxxx\Satnav Files\Original File Fragment To Copy\EEC\EEC_WLD
xxxx user name
with it in there.
Also a good idea to reboot the unit in the process of updating it. Turn off, take the SD card out. Long press on the on / off button till it re - wakes. Then once you have the files on the SD card following the workaround, reckon it's less likely to generate the SVM error which doesn't effect the working of the unit but shows up on a scan.
If a
PC use 7Zip to unzip the download and copy to the PC directory first. Other PC unzip programs may work for the standard including the built in Windows 10, high is much more fussy - Vag recommends 7Zip for standard and high.
If
MAC the recommended VAG software to clear the rubbish from a MAC unzip of the download map file is the free utility CleanMyDrive 2 whilst for a PC 7zip. From the October 2019 VAG pdf notes:
ATTENTION
If the map update is performed using the Apple® OS X operating system you may find that
Discover Media does not recognise the map material or displays it incorrectly. This is due to
a lack of compatibility between the “7 zip” program and the OS-X operating system. In
addition, the OS-X operating system has a tendency to create hidden additional files on
external data media. We therefore recommend that OS X users use the “Keka” unzipping
program. We also recommend using the “CleanMyDrive” program to remove any hidden files.
There are other MAC unzip tools that do the same job.

Said original file is the overall.nds
in
Maps\EEC\EEC_WLD
You keep it in a safe place since that original file on the SD card you keep copying back onto the SD card after each update.
PS
Yes they bung the car out with whatever card they have.
