Yes copy and paste between devices. Move is only if it's on the device. It's fallen into no man's land. Deleted from the card and not moved. Move we'll read as cut and paste. Generally not between devices and that's two devices.
I see. I don't remember what I did exactly: copied or moved. Im not sure if I want to try things with the new map card I have, lolYes copy and paste between devices. Move is only if it's on the device. It's fallen into no man's land. Deleted from the card and not moved. Move we'll read as cut and paste. Generally not between devices and that's two devices.
It should be OK. The CID on mib2 cards is fine for mib1. So yes. Europe 1 means it's a 16gb card... that's the zone Europe 1 in mib2 form. Mib1 cards are 8gb... the maps expand to need 16gb or you have to hack them. Mib2 that expanded to 32gb cards but packaged into zones.
Why I recommend keeping your existing card intact as a back up and using the 16 or 32 gb card as a new one. When you switch map cards in the units you do need to hold the on / off button for a few seconds to force a reboot else the unit holds the parameters read off the old card if the card swap is shorter than 20 minutes.
Ps note I did an edit to the post you replied to... mib1 used 8gb cards... 2023 maps in mib1 need a 16 or 32 gb mib2 card to use for the CID or you hack down the 2023 maps to fit. Getting last when I typed that.
DO NOT FORMAT THE NEW CARD (excuse the shouting). Delete the existing files on the card by selecting them and pressing the delete key. Once you have done that you will have a blank card ready to have the new files copied to it. Follow the earlier instructions for downloading at editing the new files.So when my card arives, I am not touching the original and working mib1card. Do I format the new mib2 card then copy over the files from my mib1? I'm not really clear on what do do yet. Then do I just download the new maps and right them to the mib2 card?
Or sold a blank map card by a rogueIs there a chance that one or both of your computers have a virus? You should be able to read the cards. Since your car can no long read the original card it suggest something has happened to it. Either it has failed or the computer has done something to corrupt it which could be the result of a virus.
Or sold a blank map card by a rogue
If it's a 16gb or 32gb card it show it as such.
Assuming it was / is a valid mapcard you would have highlighted the files to delete - not reformat.
Take a copy of your existing card and then copy that onto the new mapcard to test. In the car it should recognise your maps you have copied across as mib1 and work. If it doesn't do this it's a corrupt card, return it to them.
If it is seeing your old map files then progress following instructions linked. Suspect you might not get this far.
Something quite not right with your computer it should see the SD cards, new and old. Find another computer 🫣. Probably the drivers in Windows 11 for the SD card reader if built into the unit are not installed correctly or if it's an SD / USB external adaptor not working on the computer. It should see any SD card put in the slot whether a map card or normal SD card. BTW SD cards have a read / write lock but it's not that, that will be need to be clicked to unlock to write but won't be that if no SD cards are being registered as present. Some works computers do lock down external drivers to prevent data or programs being removed or installed on the hardware. That is an alternative a security lock being applied. That would be down to the security software put on the system.I had put my original card in the puter first to copy files, the computer didnt recognise a file system. I the put the new card in to check if it would read different but it was the same. I then went back to the car where the issue was confirmed.
Ran a windows defender scan on the puter and found no issues. I also download another scanner (malwarebytes )and scanning now but nothing found.
Is the situation recoverable?
The Mega linked one is the Here Maps one that is all Europe (and Uk) and fits on the 16gb card. The last release that support customisable TMC. Once it switched to TomTom on the standard mib2 you couldn't customise it to inrix. You also need those modules that were duly amended by a programmer to convert to Inrix from Trafficmaster.If I want just the UK V12 Maps where can would I find it?
See the linked MEGA is the 13GB EU ones
Thinking to put old maps on a different SD card for traffic.
Shame theres no way to get traffic on latest maps for MIB2 Std.
Hi @Tell,Well we are onto the June 2025 release of the mib2 standards maps. Just broken cover today
Navi ohne plus - Daten und Update - SEAT SUV Forum
Guten Morgen Zusammen, ich dachte mir gestern: schaust mal nach den Karten und wie aktuell die sind... Gefunden unter: Seat_Mediaupdates [URL:http://www.seat.de/kontakt/downloads/service/mediaupdates.html] Meine Version: 153 Verfügbar: 157 Da ich über…www.ateca-forum.de
DONT DONT delete your existing maps without doing the workaround, else you will be saying help.
Thanks to the Ateca German board for that (2410 is the new serial release) + MartiniB of Briskoda board filling in RoW files:

The all important workaround is here is the resource section.
GPS and satnav - Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1
This resource is applicable to all Seat navigation systems plus other Vag brands which are MIB2 / 2.5. It is built from the knowledge base on the Leon forum from a long running thread which has the advantage of tracking the twists and turns over...www.seatcupra.net
The workaround is this:
Workaround
Using a PC or a MAC ?
PC: 7 Zip is the preferred VW tool, other unzip tool including those built into Windows, can cause difficulties.
7 zip can be obtained from
https://www.7-zip.org/download.html
MAC: VW instructions
"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."
If a MAC is used CleanMyDrive is run against the SD card after the maps are copied across to the SD card.
Having identified which unzipping tool is required and special Mac SD card cleaning required... free to proceed.
Steps:
- Download the latest standard MIB2 maps
- on the infotainment go to settings, safely remove, sd1 card
- remove sd1 card from glove box slot
- long press on the on / off to reboot it a couple of times
- insert sd card in to computer
- copy and paste all contents to a directory on your computer
- Format the SD card keep it as fat32 and leave format settings as default in file explorer (don't forget to push the card lock mechanism to off) (ditto in a MAC or delete all from the SD card)
- Copy the new downloaded map version to the SD card (after unzipping it)
- Replace /maps/EEC/EEC_WLD/OVERALL.NDS on the SD CARD with the one from the original SD card
- eject the sd card (on a MAC run CleanMyDrive on the SD card - then eject)
- Inserted the card into the card 1 slot in glove box whilst infotainment is off
- power on and go to navigation
The unit should then boot up into navigation. Note it does take a little longer first time round. If it refuses to boot up, press the volume button forcing a reboot, hold down until the unit reboots. If this fails it will be issues on the overall.nds file / copy issues. Revisit the process. Failing this restore the back up.
You will also need to pick up any POIs that you show on the screen since these will be dropped after a map update. Petrol stations, parking location etc.
Do not format the card in anything other than Fat32. The unit runs QNX so will not correctly see the SD card if it is not in Fat32 / cluster size gets tinkered with in a reformat. The CID is not deleted in a format that is outside of the area that can be addressed but reformatting has been known to corrupt the card.

If you do lose the NDF file than it's in the resource of how to sort it out.

The region decodes are in this post:
Updating the inbuilt Mib2 Satnav / Mib2 tricks and Mib1
Thinking about it, one of those links is suppose to be the dealer one and the other, the consumer one. Take the one which is the fastest. Probably on different servers. Both links get found and get posted up. I did wait for the download to complete, haven't installed it yet. :)www.seatcupra.net
& the normal success picture on the the all European map but you have to use the workaround as covered. We await the professional file sniffers for the RoW files.

Step 9. of the workaround people inthe past copy all files over rather than just that individual file. Possible not your case.Hi @Tell,
I've recently bought a V20 card off eBay as the car never came with one as it was "stolen" from the previous owner. Found this didn't work when plugged in so thought I'd give the workaround a try as the steps posted by yourself looked simple. As the card was stolen previously, I also used the V1 version of OVERALL.NDS to hopefully get it to work, but this also hasn't seemed to make a difference.
Any ideas of what the issue might be?
Many thanks.
