Navigon FreshMaps - Anyone Manged it Yet?

MikeS48

I bought a Navigon 2150 Max with the FreshMaps voucher in December, and paid the discounted fee shortly after.

I was notified (can't remember how, to be honest), that Q1 of 2009 was now available for d'load through Navigon Fresh but despite several attempts over a week or two to do so, all I get is the message "server not answering, please try later".

Has anyone actually managed to download the update, or am I missing something somewhere?

I managed to download a new map for my 8110, but they have a serious case of server overload at Navigon I think.

I managed it in the early afternoon (around 3pm) - and even then it took around 20 minutes for each and every step to initiate, let alone to complete(update software first, then update map etc...)

I did report it to Navigon, but they did their usual 'no-one else has ever reported that' routine...

My only reccomendation is to persevere - eventually it will work.

Thanks for that - I'll keep trying. I'll do the email thing, too.

I only just got Q4/2008. No problems once they gave me the code.

email SUPPORT@NAVIGON.COM

response is slow to non-existent but you might strike lucky.

I managed a Q1/2009 update but the upload button was just off the software frame; I was just abe to catch it.

well, Navigon is going thru a bit of "restructure" at the moment, so they probably have their hands full. I would watch for a press release in the next 72 hours concerning their US operations.

Success at last!

Hadn't heard from Navigon yet, but as it turns out it was nothing to do with them - at least, I don't think so.

Thought I'd try the download on my wife's laptop, so last night I installed Navigon Fresh - and it worked exactly as it should, straight off. I upgraded the device software to the latest version, and downloaded the Q1/2009 maps.

Don't know why Navigon kept saying "Server not answering - please try later" on my PC.

Just happy I got there in the end.

Thanks

I had problems getting thru to the Fresh Map page while clicking the link from Navigon website. When I manually put in the web address I got thru straight away and registered.

Haven't had issues connecting to server but have had a problem with Q1/2009; having downloaded the updates the speed limit signs which were always visibile now only appear on major roads so went back to Q3/2008 but now have a problem with POI. When I select POI and input a town the categories tab is preselected with All Categories and the keyboard is greyed out. The drop down arrow to pick a sub category is also greyed out so I can only select All Categories so they appear alphabetically and you have to scroll down down, right pain when you are searching for somewhere that starts with a 'w'. Anyone had similar and got any ideas? Confused
