These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

29 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

I have created a backup disk  of the old man's 2007 Jag navigation DVD and put it in a 2001 Jag and it worked without issue.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay, apologies for the stupid question but... I'll be picking up a car on Saturday and looking forward to driving home using the Navigation system... if it has one .. lol now, car was built in 2005, so the maps are from then. A lot has happen to the roads since then so... is there a way to update the PCM GPS maps? Has this topic come up on PFA before?

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Okay after a search on google and a read through Rennlist and piston heads.... seems like you can buy PCM update DVD's with updated maps but they cost hundreds of $ and... may have to be installed by the dealer? something about one time use codes etc? Looks like i'll use my phone gps + mount in the short term to back up the car GPS.

POST 3Original post

Check first the maps may have been updated since 2005.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

As you can tell, I'm kinda excited about the whole thing...

POST 6Original post

I can relate. Still have no idea of the version of my maps but haven't had any issues yet...

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I didn't know that the Hume now bypasses Holsbrook and the submarine in the ground.. shows you how long it's been since I last drove to Sydney.

POST 8Original post

From memory it bypasses nearly all towns now even Albury has a bypass.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow ! It has been ages then ! hmmm how many years has it been.... I wonder, best not to count....

POST 10Original post

I have created a backup disk  of the old man's 2007 Jag navigation DVD and put it in a 2001 Jag and it worked without issue. Also worked in a 2003 Lexus. Maybe take your laptop to your first SMT just in case someone has an updated disk.

POST 11Original post

Drove down to Hotham a few weeks ago and yes they are all bypassed.

POST 12Original post

Bypasses are good for the drive but bad for the towns. Good thing for me when I drive down Friday it won't be as long as it was last time I drove it.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes that submarine at Holsbrook used to be a real highlight on the Hume, and now it's bypassed. must be terrible for the town after all that effort getting it there and set up in the ground.

POST 14Original post

Funny story, urban myth from my navy days, engineers had to do a quick trip to Holbrook to get spared for one of the old O-boats after she had been concreted in. Middle of the night job....

POST 15Original post

isn't it just the fibreglass outside casing? and there's nothing much else to it?

POST 16Original post

You bypass everything! Only places I stopped were the roadhouse Servos. I used the car nav and my iPhone as backup. As for maps - I've still got the 2005 in mine. So if you find a way to upgrade them I would love to know.

POST 17Original post

Quotes source post: 47912

I disagree Nath.  You need the towns to refresh and break the monotony.  Hour after hour at 110kph is a killer. Last time I drove the Hume was returning from the ACT SMT in Feb.  Holbrook was still on the hwy, next stop was Macca's at Glenrowan just to get off the road and recharge the brain.

POST 18 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am driving back with the wife so we'll be sharing the driving. Besides we have to stop to take photos.

POST 19Original post

I didn't think Holbrook was bypassed yet? At least it wasn't when I last done the drive in August! Didn't look anywhere near done....

POST 20 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Amanda I am keeping an eye here http://gpsunderground.com/forum/car-navi-system/car-gps-systems/porsche/ Don't know if there are Aus map updates there Edgy I will find out on Sat, Google maps has holsbrook bypassed

POST 21Original post

That is disappointing! If there was one town on the Syd-Melb route that was a good stop & half way point Holbrook was it.. I will still stop there!

POST 22 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Talking about driving down the Hume... BUSH fires in NSW! Should I be worried?

POST 24 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I am wishing you a safe trip.

POST 25 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey I just read that the Hume is shut between mittagong and wilton

POST 26Original post

Not sure. I'm at suttons Forrest now and it's burnt a bit back closer to sydney but not closed

POST 27Original post

Got all the way to Melbourne. All bypassed on the Hume and no issue with fires

POST 28 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for letting me know, fingers crossed its clear tomorrow.

POST 29Original post

Good luck tomorrow Orion, hope you have a wonderful trip back to Melbourne!
