The map has a roundabout nearby my home which has been replaced by a normal intersection with traffic lights more than 5 years ago!! So my 17445_0_4 map version is just an (very) old map.

Driving the car gives a big smile, also the connect app is working well, the same holds for the instrument panel, but not for the navigation updates. Januari 31st (th?) the new Leaf Tekna was delivered. Same situation here in Holland about the TomTom updates. The file saved on the USB stick by the car also has some useful info, for example it seems to report that I should have free map updates until April 2022. Searching with Google I found that some Renaults have a map update tool that indeed uses name 'AllianceNDSMapConfig' (probably Alliance is the Nissan-Renault alliance) but I couldn't find a working Renault software either. EIther one is probably outdated.ĭoes map update actually work for you? Do you know where to find a 'Map Update Tool' that accepts the AllianceNDSMapConfig folder created by Leafs with current firmware?

So there is no way that that tool works with my Leaf with its current firmware. So I checked what the software actually does and it indeed checks the content of the stick, but instead of looking for a folder named 'AllianceNDSMapConfig', it searches for a folder named 'TomTomNDSUpdate' and, if it cannot find that folder, it just gives up. Problem is the tool says the stick is invalid. for Windows), run it and it should recognize the USB stick and save updates maps on the stick. Then you download the 'Map Update Tool' from that site (I got version Versione 2.

I.e it doesn't work at all.as if the map update server is dead/offline.Īpparently you should be able to do map updates via USB for 2-3 years, using web site : this site has instructions and the software to do it.īut this one doesn't work either for me! When I prepare the USB stick on my car, the car creates and saves a folder named 'AllianceNDSMapConfig' on the USB stick. Problem is, it stays stuck there for hours with no progress. Now it is a few days that when I try a WiFi upgrade the car shows a screen saysing 'starting map update, please wait' (I'm traslating from italian, so the exact wording in English can be different). Up to some months ago, whenever I tried a wifi map ugprade the car just replied that I already had the most recent maps. The maps in my car are quite outdated now (at least by 1 year, apparently I have maps version 2020.something) because we have a new highway around here, with several changes also in surrounding roads.so most itineraries suggested by the navi are completely wrong. In theory the car should be able to do automatic map updates (for 2-3 years at least) via Wifi, or alternatively manually via USB.
