458 Navteq maps updates

[Durzel]

Hi

Quick one this - are there updates available for the nav in the 458? I've found precious little info on Google about it, but I presume there must have been some updates in its lifetime?

Thanks.

That mirrors my experience as well. Will do a bit of digging then I guess. Like you I find it hard to believe 2015 Italias etc have the 2010 maps.

You could be right. Nokia bought out Navteq in 2008, so who knows whether that was a limited partnership with Ferrari that wasn't renewed.

It's strange in this day and age that there is very little info available on Navteqmaps updates on Ferrari. I guess most owners don't care?

I had a similar response from a Ferrari dealer - it seemed like a question they seldom get asked?

I was told there is no part number for an updated DVD.
Do new cars till ship with this system, if so can the Nav version number be interrogated ?

You can definitely get the version, it's one of the menu options when you're on the nav screen. Sorry that doesn't help much, but I do remember seeing it in my car.

If as F355GTS says he hasn't got routes that were changed in 2008 on a 2015 car, then I would guess everyone has the same version? Seems incredible if so, even Porsche who I thought were particularly pedestrian at updating their factory nav managed to do it every couple of years or so.

Also - isn't the nav on a hard drive? I seem to recall someone on another forum saying that there is a 30GB hard drive somewhere in the car, and if you have nav only 20GB of it is useable?

Staggering, really, especially given how much nav seems to be pushed for resale etc. Thanks all for your efforts in getting to the bottom of this.
