mk3 not displaying street names after upgrade from v18 to 3/1-63
 

I'm new here and just saw your forum last night. Anyhow, I upgraded my nav os (mk3) from 18 to the 3-1/63 and noticed that I'm seeing route names instead of street names now. It's like the reverse of what I read in the FAQ:

I did note that the above comment was for mk4 not mk3.

Any idea why this might have happened? Is there a fix? If it makes a difference, this happened to my car in San Jose, California. I noticed that what used to read Lawrence Expressway is now showing up as Route G2.

Try a newer map. street names can be map dependent.

And the FAQ was for the Mk4, which is not a Mk3, and therefore doesn't have the same OS software as a Mk3 - however the Mk4 can read the same map discs.

You loaded 3-1/63 which is good - it is the last and best OS version for the Mk3.

But anyway, first step is a new map disc.

Thanks! I've ordered one from the dealership; should arrive next week. I'll let you know if it changes things. I just think it's odd that the street was correct on v.18 before the upgrade and now it's showing the other.

I have a Mk4 in my X5 that was showing T20.10, just upgraded that one to 4-1/00. So far so good.

Throw the map disc in the Mk4 in the X5 and see how street names are displayed there :-)
