This also applies to the up-to-dateness of map data available on the Naviextras Internet portal. This explains why the map data of a new device is already approximately 5 to 8 months old when purchased.

The data compilation of a full EU package requires at least 3 months. This digital data has to be compiled and prepared for use on the devices. Up-to-dateness of maps on the device and from Naviextras: Navigation map providers such as Navteq or Tele Atlas (TomTom) deliver new map packages three times a year to the navigation software producers.(Example: update of full EU motorhome map package with over 4 GB). Time required for navigation and map updates: Installing a map update can take up to 3 hours, depending on the size of the map and the data rate of the USB data storage device used.

Without backup data, personal negligence cannot always be excluded. You also need a backup copy so that warranty cases involving the navigation software can be processed. This enables original files to be restored if an error occurs during the update process.
