How can I find out which version of NTG is in my car? I would like to have Apple car play rather than using the installed software but I suspect that won't be possible.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

That’s way more than I pay for a year with my mobile.PAYG £10 a month including 30 GB a month from Smarty ( Three ) no contract

I guess that is a given........................ If they don't release new maps again, I am not going to update mine.
As mentioned in my previous post, you’d only need the phone in cases where your car GPS cannot find the destination. SatNav maps are always going to be out of date from the minute you update them.That’s way more than I pay for a year with my mobile.
Smartphones have revolutionised personal navigation and the recognition of that by the automotive industry is their incorporation of Apple Carplay and Android Auto in their cars.Google maps is far superior always up to date and £0.00
Unfortunately the latest available NTG4.5 update still doesn’t include the A14 changes from the A1 going East.Sorry for the thread hijack....
Seeing @alzieboy (love the GSD) and @knighterrant successfully upload the SD card maps, I think I'll go this route too as it's annoying I can't use navigation anywhere round the new A14 as it just shows me in the fields!
Excuse my naivety, but is there a risk to overwriting/compromising an ECU remap doing this? Sorry for the daft, paranoid question
Sat nav updates are also useful for the journey. Major road revisions can send you a long way off course, which is always recoverable but still a PITA.As mentioned in my previous post, you’d only need the phone in cases where your car GPS cannot find the destination.

Thanks a lot.Unfortunately the latest available NTG4.5 update still doesn’t include the A14 changes from the A1 going East.
I can’t be certain about your ECU remap question, but I wouldn’t have thought that there was any link.
I always have a quick look at online route planning so that I know in advance what to expect on any longer journey and plan accordingly. I don’t jump in the car and hope the satnav will get me there.Sat nav updates are also useful for the journey.

So do I. Unfortunately, the longer the journey the more the opportunities for things to change along the way. On Friday afternoon, for instance, I was driving up the A1 to Yorkshire along with a few thousand others! On finding myself in yet another section of A1 car park the lady in the dashboard suggested a change in route.I always have a quick look at online route planning so that I know in advance what to expect on any longer journey and plan accordingly.

Of course not & I never implied that it would. However my point is that we can quite easily do without the latest and greatest satnav updates. As you have indicated satnav (even the newest and best) is not infallible.So do I. ..........
No amount of forward planning could have avoided all that.
But doesn’t appear on my COMAND screen or instrument cluster. To use it on the go I’d need to have a mobile phone contract with lots of data available, which has to be paid for. I don’t have a contract phone or plan, just PAYG, which costs peanuts.
Excuse my being lazy but can anyone recommend the eBay contact previously used for Sat Nav updates?
