Are we really not going to get any RNS-e map update in US?

[V1nny]

I was hoping someone comes up with RNS-E DVD update for US.
Main gen II is converted to take maps from SD card, but the latest available is from 2019, and it getting outdated few places.

Alas, ETKA shows that 2019/2020 (8P0060884DH) is the last available RNS-E US/Canada nav database DVD (dropped from the catalog in Apr 2022).
Looks like Europe RNS-E users got an update in 2020 (8P0060884DJ), still active in ETKA. --g

Is there a market size sufficient for someone to create latest update, and make money off that? I would pay at least a 100 or more for such an updated map DVD or SD card for Gen II RNS-E

I suppose it's possible if the nav database format is shared with, say, MMI3G systems made by Harman/Becker around the same time as your RNS-E 2010. If you have an older DVD update that can be shared, I could take a quick look at how the two nav system formats (RNS-E vs MMI3G) compare. --g

I also just set my 192 model RNS-E up to run maps off of the SD card reader. Does anyone know where I can get the latest map files? 2019 would be a huge update for me as my disk is from 2012.

I have the most recent RNSE disc. It's pretty easy to copy the map files and send them. Would that work?

Yeah, sure, let's try that --g

RNS-E uses totally different format comparing to MMI3G

[vmoses]

if so, the next question is can a conversion program be written?

Thanks for sharing those RNS-E navdb files. Alas, as @V1nny notes above, RNS-E is a completely different architecture and file format from MMI, also noted here: https://www.ttforum.co.uk/threads/rn...4/post-9589038 --g

Does anybody have the most recent maps files hosted online or willing to rip their DVD's and share the files? I'm having some trouble tracking down the discs and I'm currently using the 2010-2011 maps which are vastly outdated in my area.

I bought from this ebay seller. The firmware DVD worked fine. But the map DVD is corrupt. I'm unable to copy the data to SD card using NavPoint software. It keeps crashing at 52.4%
