OGM1 Map Updates

Question for the smart folks here.

 

I installed my OGM1 at the end of May and didn't bother messing with the map updates or the SD card until mid June.

 

So mid June I decided to mess with the SD card, the maps, and ultimately the naviextras toolbox.

 

I've got my naviextras.com profile, I've successfully registered my device via the SD card in my computer, and have run the various updates that were available using naviextras toolbox.

 

Here's my question: Has anyone successfully updated their maps via the "free 90-day map upgrade" option?

 

When l look at my installed maps, I can see they are all dated 2011Q2 - but the naviextras site has maps available for purchase showing 2011Q4. Prices range from $89 to $109 on both naviextras toolbox and web site.

 

Since I'm within my 90-day "upgrade" window, I would think the 2011Q4 maps would show as "free" or be auto updated via naviextras toolbox?

 

Anyone else got their maps to update?

 

Thanks.

p.s. LOVE the OGM1 so far. The latest update with Pandora is cool, but the ability to integrate a WDTV is even better!

My map updates occurred automatically after I updated to the most recent version of the iGO software. The steps are to update the iGO software, put the card back into the radio and start the NAV system. On completion of that process, take the card out of the radio and put it back into the PC card reader. Start Naviextras toolbox and it should display a message that map updates are available and give you the option of doing the updates. The map updates take several hours in some cases, so do them when you have time to waste. If your experience was different, you'll probably need to contact the vendor for help. Also, make sure you have the latest release of the toolbox. A new version that was released the first part of June this year.

It is a latest map guarantee. Not a free update. If you run the tool box program it will check the active map against the data base and apply any fixes or updates. This is all done automatically, it doesn't give you an option to select a map. It shows you have (for example) 2 updates available and then loads them to your card. When in the toolbox it will show "my updates" and a history of what has been downloaded. If the map you have is the latest, then there will be no download available. The latest map is the promise.

 

If you feel it is not working correctly then you need to contact iGo on-line and ask about the "latest map guarantee" and not a "free map". It is important to use the correct terms. Igo will request specific information from each customer and they can look at their registration, map data, and other info to make sure they have the correct data base.

Yep, I did exactly as you described with updating the card, putting it back in the OGM1, running NAV, then running updates again.

 

Just to be sure, when you look at your currently installed maps on your SD card, do yours show 2011Q4?

 

Thanks for the response.

Walt, thanks for the information. I'm going to try contacting iGo/NaviExtras and see what they say. I will be sure to use "latest map guarantee" as I see a LOT of posts in their forums with folks bitchin' about "free maps" not working....

 

Question for you too - do you have 2011Q4 on your SD card?

 

Maybe I'm chasing nothing?

 

Thanks again.

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.
