thanks, I downloaded the zipped file but when trying to decompress it, it tells me that an error occurred and I just can extract the MIB 1 folder and the metainfo file, no MIB 2... tried again, but no change, same error...
just me?

Myself too, used WinRAR and 7Zip on both the EU and ROW files, I also get the extraction errors.

I know this problem. Try with Bandizip...

Downloaded EU update at the weekend and 7-Zip is fine with me. Not going through the download process again to check, but here are the hashes...

ok, will try again using 7-zip

 

[kevin#34]

just extracted the files with 7-zip, MIB 1&2 present, but lots of errors in both folders
unsure if trying to upload or not…

 

[Erty]

Try Bandizip !

 

[kevin#34]

I will, but sounds strange previous updated never failed, whichever tool I was using to decompress the file

 

[pcbbc]

Your best bet would be to hash your download. Then you’d know if it was the file thats corrupt, or the version of 7-zip that’s broken.

Hash values and a link to a tool to calculate them in my previous post.

Maybe that explains why I cant seem to re-download my maps on MyAudi anymore...

 

[kevin#34]

I think it's not the case, me neither have the last available map downloadable anymore (since last year more or less, after last free update expired)

 

[Kenway]

I always had the option to re-download the maps that I am entitled to which is 2017/2018 map (the mid update). However I was never sure why do you have the access to the file in the first place after instal.
Its not like you can delete maps and then download them individually. You install the "whole Europe 14GB map" thats it...

 

[kevin#34]

it's (or it was) normal that you have the possibility to download again the map
and you can decide what you want to install (whole Europe or single countries) just by removing sub-folders

 

[Kenway]

I wish that they had an ability to chose what to update and what countries to delete completely. Make the map loading that much faster

 

[kevin#34]

you can't do that, but you can do it later, before uploading the map..
the actual problem now is from where to download the next update...

Yup, thems the problem now.
Kinda feel relieved that I didn’t pull the trigger and unlock my MIB to get VW maps.
Too complicated and for a time being… not useful anymore

Strange! You'd think that UK would get a good HERE coverage. I can say for Italy for example that there was 70% chance that my maps cannot find that street or that house number. Regardless of how many updates I did.

You googled for / visited the wrong website. That is for NA vehicles where free downloads have never been available.

Europe and RoW maps (excluding NA) still available here…

Keep your Volkswagen Navigation System up to date. Find updates for the navigation maps to use with your Volkswagen Discover Pro or Discover Media or use the Update Manager DiscoverCare.

Select Golf, from 2017, Discover Pro system.

Edit: The reason the ”pre-release” copies of the 2022 map downloads linked to above are not working is an issue with the VW download servers aborting the download before it’s complete. Probably because the files have not yet been replicated across their content delivery network? This also happened for the previous update with the RoW download. This will be resolved when the 2022 Update is made officially available on the official site. You’ll just have to be patient.

ok, thanks for your investigation, I knew that VW link (it's where I uploaded from for the last updates, but apparently it wasn't working anymore)
good to know we can still update!
