It would help if we knew who the mapping provider was that supplied the map data for your current system. The major players are Navtech (now Navteq) and TeleAtlas.

Looking at Navteq's website they make no mention of map data for S.Africa.

All I can suggest then is contacting Navteq, webiste address is www.navteq.com. Tell them what system you have and enquire if SA maps are available for it. Alternatively contact Siemens.

Because there are so many variations of hardware manufacturer, Navteq don't always have updates available, olders systems used CD whereas newer ones use DVD for map data. If yours uses CD it is possible that the SA update has only been made available on DVD but it's worth enquiring although the map disks are not cheap Sad
