FYI

the "USB2" drive on the maps is around 1.6MB too big for an 8GB thumb drive - at least it was for the 3 different ones I tried. I had to use a 16GB for USB2.

Hope this saves someone some time.

That is quite strange, because if memory serves, USB2 is the largest of the 3 at 7.5 GB, and should easily fit on an 8 GB thumb drive.

People have also burned them to 8 GB Double Layer Double Density DVD's without any issue.

shawnsheridan for the links

I had downloaded 2013 a year ago but never bought a code because others with the new maps reported the new extensions for 190 & 161 weren't in there.

I just got this installed tonight and, for those of you in the DFW area, the updated maps include the 190 and 161 extension missing from my 2012 maps.

Alright. Glad ot hear you got some new roads in Dallas. I am seeing more here in Houston too, and it seems more street names are appearing in my Turn-By-Turn directions.

Could have just been my thumb drive brand. I had two different sandisk 8gb and both formatted to 7.43gb which was 1.6mb too small. 16gb thumb drive for USB2 worked like a champ though and the update worked perfectly!

Damn, your right. WTF? I just checked my Sandisk ones too, and they format to only 7.45.

Does anyone know of a way to back up the current hard drive/maps prior to attempting an upgrade? Also has anyone run into an issue during the upgrade?

You can't back up your existing ones. A few hundred have been done now, and no one has had any issue.

The Update installs into a separate space on the Hard drive, and only if and when it installs 100%, does it reboot the CIC and start using the new version.

This is correct.

BTW, my first attempt bailed out halfway through the third thumb drive. I wasn't paying attention to the progress and thought it was done but when I checked the map version it was still 2012.

When I started the process again, it knew how far along it had gotten in loading and, while it still required the first 2 thumb drives, it did not re-prompt for MSC code and zipped through the first 2 drives in about 5-10 seconds each and picked up in the third with progress at ~92%.

Yes, thankfully it is smart enough to not make one start all over again, and it will resume from where it left off.
