Does anyone have news about possibility to update the maps?

Pre-installed maps on SD of my CX-60 are quite dated now (2021) and because I often use the stock nav, I would like to finally update.

We are in Q2, but the Toolbox apparently hasn't yet been updated...
 
Is there any reason to use the internal mazda navigation instead of google maps or apple/ios maps via carplay? The mazda system does not even have online traffic support, it just supports the old TCM function. Are there any other benefits that i do not see/know?
 
Live Traffic (Connected services) provides real-time traffic information that helps you navigate and adjust your travel plans according to the latest traffic conditions and you can send a destination to the vehicle's navigation system in advance.
That could be a good reason :cool:

Yes right. But the mazda navigation system does NOT have such real time traffic information. Only the old TCM. So why using the mazda navigation system? Just want to understand why ppl care about mazda navigation if there are better solutions available using carplay :)

Two quick reasons:
  • Updating the maps also updates the location of active speed cameras and warnings, even if AA is not connected.
  • On long journeys I sometimes don't connect AA (wireless eats phone battery.. ) so as not to arrive with flat battery of phone.

In any case, if I pay for a feature, I like to be able to fully use it.
 
But it does? You just have to set up the App, register and use the Mazda Toolbox. Pretty much the same as it is with other makes...
My dealer told me that the mazda navigation system does not use the real time online traffice information, it only supports the old TCM via Radio. Thank you for this information. This was new to me.

Tunnels. Tunnels. Tunnels.

Whenever there is no GPS signal available, the in-car navi software monitor vehicle's CAN-bus and read actual speed and the steering wheel position thus deducting where the vehicle actually is.

With CarPlay / Android Auto - forget about it ;)
 
Classic case of RTFM ;) Mazda's Connect actually supported online live traffic with the older system, you just needed to have a wifi hotspot from your smartphone, because there was no sim card.
"with the older system" what does that mean with view on my CX60? Can i use the online live traffic feature with the mazda navigation system?

Simply: No. At least currently there is no chance to get any kind of online services with the CX-60‘s (so called) „infotainment“.

All other “informations“ are simply empty promises. Exactly like the „update possibility“ of the nav maps…

Thank you. Then Apple Maps and my iPhone will be the best pick for long travel routes.
 
Mazda Update Toolbox is available for the CX-60. Try this website マツダ コネクトナビゲーションシステム 地図データ更新ツール
mazda.update-mapnavi.com/ with https:// at the beginning.
I've updated mine (SD card is behind rubber flap below the USB sockets - make sure vehicle is switched off - push card to release spring).
Tried cloning card, vehicle won't recognise it. Something else with the CID register to try. Will try again later.
