GUIDE: Updating the firmware, maps and installing risk areas (RADARs) on NG4

[Daintree]

It seems that the Eastern version does not (or less) cover the following countries:
Andorra, France, Gibraltar, Great Britain, Ireland, Monaco, Portugal and Spain
but has additional (or better) coverage for:
Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Ukraine, Belarus

Since Romania only appears as partial coverage on the BMW (Eastern Europe) maps, it would be interesting to know if the original 2016 PSA maps with full coverage of Romania (of course given the conditions at that time) are better or weaker than the 2020 BMW partially covered variant.

No idea, but as mentioned before.

The 2021-1 maps in the OP are based on BMW West.

The 2020-2 maps in the OP are based on BMW East (Ross_Rusev provided the link).

I personally can use either (Slovenia luckily counts as Central Europe and is included in both).

Best bet for you is to try installing 2020-2 and see how it works.

Ross Rusev Link in first post goes to:

4.52 GB file on MEGA

mega.nz

NG4_2020.2_EAST correct.rar = 2,52 GB / 4,52 GB
I think it`s east europe without POIs

Supplementarry link:

7.92 GB file on MEGA

mega.nz

Cartes_NG4_2020_2_POI2016.zip = 7,92 GB
It looks like this could contain the original POIs

Here is a link for PSA_2016-2:

8.65 GB folder on MEGA

mega.nz

2016_Q2.zip = 8,65 GB

Edit:
Warning: if you don't have a premium account for MEGA (IP related), you can only download 5GB at a time.
But that shouldn't cause a problem: Download the 5GB, let the process rest for about 5 hours and continue the download!

Hi guys, what am I doing wrong this time! Just tried to look at POI in my area, UK, Sheffield and there aren’t any! Are they in a separate file I need to download? Or is there a setting I need to change

POI in the 2021-1 maps are not included. It's a version of the maps without 2016 POI's included. There is not a separate installation file. I'm waiting for the 2022 version with the POI and will update the links accordingly when the update arrives.

You need this file:

NG4_2021_1_POI2016.zip​

Try this link: Télécharger NG4_2021_1_POI2016.zip

I installed the maps and they work. POIs are here, coverage of some Eastern European countries is poor.
Actually I'm not interested in this map: Romania has only main roads covered, but PSA's POIs are standing all nicely on the map (in no man's land).

You can switch to Navigation in your Car - NG4 and select Setup. There are many POI groups that you can enable or disable.
However, there is a download registration fee that you must take into account.

True that. I havent updated this link as I paid for three months at the time I created the guide.

I’ll do it again when the update drops.

Here is a fresh link, Grandfather posted in Eliteboard:

Navi NG4 – Google Drive

drive.google.com

NG4_Maps_2022.0.zip

drive.google.com

It looks like, you need to download only with Microsoft Edge.
Haven't tried it yet, is probably for western Europe and without POI

You may consider looking here for more information (GERMAN LANGUAGE):

WOW! Fleißige Leute: unterwegs zur Arbeit sah es um mich herum ziemlich verwüstet und verlassen aus ... bis zu meiner Heimkehr haben die Heinzelmännchen ganze Wohnviertel aufgebaut (siehe Fotos)! Nun, Witz beiseite: ich habe alle erdenklichen Update - Kombinationen selber ausprobiert und bin zu...

Citroen C5 is also using the same system (Navidrive 3D NG4).

I'll try them out over the weekend. Thank you.

EDIT: Somehow, the link from gdrive stopped working due to download quota. Here is another LINK. Not tested yet.

Ahh, thanks for that, I thought it was just something I was doing wrong, Again! Took me several attempts to get the maps working! User error not the files!

I have successfully installed the maps.

They do show up as 2022.0. They however do not have 2016 POI included.

Wow! Finally 2022 maps released? Good news. It’s possible to create a complete archive with 2016 POI?

To be fair, I have no way of knowing if the maps really are 2022 as I checked one "known" changed road since April 2021 and it is not "fixed" in the 2022 files. So they may be actual 2022 maps or not.

Regarding 2022 with POI - I'll keep checking the reputable sites I used for the 2021-1 maps. There is still no update there, unfortunately.

EDIT: After acquiring BMW and AUDI maps for 2022 it seems like the NG4 2022 maps are actually legit. The numbers for BMW and AUDI versions check out. If anyone is interested in modifying the maps himself, I am able to upload the BMW and AUDI (both EAST) repository to Dropbox. Let me know.

Great news. I am looking for maps for Italy (so I assume WEST ) and, if possible, with the 2016 POI. Anyone who knows how to modify the original package with POI file ? I don't know how to do it, unfortunately.

The 2022-0 (the maps are West, but Italy is equally covered in EAST and WEST editions - benefit of being located in the middle of Europe) maps do have POI included (icons on the map), but the search for POI categories does not work.

well but that's okay! I'm only interested in the POI on the map. I never use the “ search “ function. if you tell me that everything is ok, I download them immediately! can you confirm that the tmc works? and the house numbers?

I'll check the TMC and house numbers today. I'll post the photo of the icons on the map.

You are very nice. Did you have any problems installing the maps? Did you have the usual error code 0x26E at the end of installation ?

Yes. Usual error when coming to 10/12. Then the 0x26E error, reboot and normal continuation until 12/12. Maps so far seem fine, as they should.

EDIT: Route guidance works (with voice guidance aswell). POI are visible (photo). TMC is also active (photo), although there was nothing to notify me about - so cannot be 100% it works.

 

[Green Hornet 2]

just updated the firmware and the maps on a 2013.
All went well.
Did get the 0x26E error after it finished update 12.
Just left the card in, engine running and selected OK to update again when the NAV restarted. As per the guide.
11 and 12 updates completed 2nd time round.
when prompted removed the card and pressed OK.
NAV restarted.
Checked as per guide and latest 2021 map was present.

When searching for a destination no streets or postcodes showed, then realised I had to change from Great Britain to United Kingdom and all then worked.
Noticed I can now input 6 digit UK postcodes, very pleased.

Not checked POIs yet.

The link to 2022 risk areas on page 1 of this thread seems to have been deleted.

Thank You for all this and the guide, much appreciated.
