July 2023 Map updates out

[Darksteel165]

Since you don't get a notification just posting it here.

New maps are out for the 2022s

https://stellantis.navshop.com/#/downloads

Shows on website as "v2023.06" No XML file inside to confirm date.

5 downloads for a total of 16.6GB

Appears they also massively increased their bandwidth as I was able to download around 700 Mbps vs the typical 3-5 Mbps the website seemed to be capping me at.
The downloads did all fail around 60% but was able to resume but still better than the 4 or so hours it took before lol.

Thanks for posting this. I may try this over the weekend

Thanks for the reminder. I just successfully updated to the new maps.

It went very smoothly.

I'm tired of driving in grass and thru lakes so I was hoping that I could update my maps. Looks like it's only for UC5.

I didn't realize the UC5 was different than earlier models. What's the cost for the map upgrade on the 22's?

$0.

Map updates are free, and you can download them from https://stellantis.navshop.com/downloads/

So...I guess you download to a stick and then said stick to uc5 in one of the USB ports?

 

[scottmoyer]

If you have UC4, they want $150 for the map updates.

Yep. The ones under the radio. It will popup and ask if you want to update the maps.

Two questions:

1. With UConnect 5 on a 2022 Laramie, can you download and install the updates by connecting to wifi?

2. I always use the Maps App on Apple carplay because I'm used to it, it's always updated and works well. Is there some reason to use the built in nav instead?

 

[OCD Solutions]

I switched off using the phone navigation years ago because it always seemed to tell me to turn 100ft after the turn I was just supposed to make. I’ve had factory Nav since 2008 and been quite satisfied with it so I have never felt the need to revisit the phone apps.

Doesn't seem to work.

If you're in an area without cell service car-play won't work. But your truck's nav will still work. I've always preferred nav systems as they always work. This is the first vehicle I've owned that has live updates for traffic, and it works well. Last weekend we were driving through a big city on the highway, it alerted me to a traffic delay up ahead, so I got off the highway and it re-routed me around it.

This is 100% not true.

Please elaborate, how does the phone navigate without service?

He should have specified that the phone nav would stop working, not CarPlay itself. Most people probably understood what he meant through, given the context of the conversation.

It doesn't, he just likes to argue.
Now I don't use Apple or car-play but I presume you can download maps offline and use them in areas with no cell service. Maybe that's what he meant.

Exactly...I figured everyone would get the gist.

The built-in nav will work without cell service, but you'll lose any live updates like traffic. But as long as it still shows where I'm going when in the boonies, that's fine.

Just download offline maps to your phone....

If you phone doesn't have gps signal, neither does your truck.

Carplay itself has nothing to do with signal either.

Now we’re talking about two different things though.
Lack of cellular data is the reason for downloading offline maps, not lack of gps signal.
If neither the truck nor the phone have gps signal, then your actual location on the map will be inaccurate, whether it’s on a downloaded offline map, or native TomTom maps on the radio.
