Welcome to the site....
Best wait until Monday @VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators can check the status of your Account and if required activate the Map Updates....

Hi @Silgab

Welcome to the community!

I have asked the team to make some changes in the backend. The fresh maps should be offered as a download in MyDrive Connect.

Thanks, in fact now I have the new maps and I have already updated my navigator. Tomorrow I try it and check that everything is ok. Good evening and thanks again 😀

Hi All,
I also have this problem, purchased Start 52 in 2019, but it has never updated my Lifetime Maps, still running 1011. What can I do to resolve this ?.

The subscription has been fixed. Just do a soft reset and check for updates in MyDrive Connect.

Hi VikramK,
Did the above, downloaded latest UK maps,
Sat Nav now says No Maps available
Reinstall a map you already own
My drive connect says the UK maps are installed.

Any suggestions.

Moved on slightly.
Managed to install belgium & netherlands, uninstaled uk and ireland.
Reinstaled UK & Ireland, device will not load the maps saying Invalid map
Any suggestions.

The installation process is impacted by Case: 2 explained on this topic

As suggested, the customer services can help you sort this out.

Is there any other way, or a short cut to Live chat, I have been trying for 50mins.

Finally sorted this, I cleared some crap from the device, and installed the Europe map,
Tight fit, but working again.

Hi
@sg_1963


Some Maps are now to big to install onto the the on-board Memory....
If your device is one of the 8GB Devices
@VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators can allocate a small 'Keeper Map' to your Account....
Important See Catch22....

Just to finish this off, today I installed an internal SD card.
Used the onboard formatting tool.
Cleared the downloads from My drive connect.
Installed UK & Ireland to the memory card, it worked first time, Happy Days.
Thanks to everyone who advised me through the process.

Hi @sg_1963

Depending on what size extra memory card you have fitted eventually the Europe map on your unit may become too large to fit on the Internal memory. In fact I assume you have not got the full European map as that is too big. So when the Europe map you have becomes too big it will load the relevant update onto the Extra memory card, if there is space there. When this happens you could Uninstall the UK map , turn the unit off and On and reload the UK map. Because the latest Europe map has moved to the extra memory card the UK map will switch to the Internal memory.
