When checking in to the myAudi website a couple of days ago, I noticed a new update for the map used by the built-in Audi navigation system. The last update I have was in mid June 2016, just after I got the car. Fits what Audi says - map updates twice a year.

So this is the first update for 2017. Installing it is very easy - download it to your PC, copy the files to a blank SD card, insert into card reader in glovebox, run the 'software update' option from the navigation menu. Takes 5 mins or less to do.

(Updated-map test when I go out later today - on the A322 heading out of Bracknell towards Bagshot, a major road reconfiguration took place in the summer when a large roundabout was removed to make a large cross-roads junction with traffic lights instead. The current Audi map still thinks there's a roundabout there. I wonder if the 2017 update notices the change...)

Overall, I'm reasonably happy with the Audi sat nav system - especially the voice guidance - although I have far more confidence with using Google Maps navigation via Android Auto on my connected Galaxy S6. It seems to me that the Google nav knows more about traffic conditions and alternative routes than the Audi system.

What's your experience like?
