You need to put the card back into a computer and double check the contents
In the root of the sd card you should see a folder called ‘maps’ and nothing else, most common mistake is downloading the maps (which come as a zip file) and not unzipping them before loading to the card

If you get totally stuck I offer a card exchange service with the latest map packs preloaded, I have three cards on the shelf ready to go
This is free for vip members, details below

Thanks, the file that I have now downloaded is too big for my standard 16gb card, so awaiting a 32gb, I will then try again, thank you for all of your help.
One this this is how my current card looks including the Speeding camera POI's does it look right?

Unless you hack your head unit, a standard sd card won’t work. It has to be a specific VW one.
Well, thats the end of that idea then! I will contact Paul for an exchange instead.
Or…..rather than trying to load the map for the the whole of Western Europe you could choice a smaller map from those offered covering fewer countrie?
yes, but I live in Spain and drive all over Western Europe and this year also scandinavia
one thing to note re map updates; I updated mine earlier this year but find that although the actual maps have been updated showing new roads, roundabouts etc., the speed limit symbol in the uppper left hand corner is still showing speed limits that are 3 - 4 years out of date.
Have a read through this thread

Hello all,
I got a Tiguan 2021 from Germany and shipped it to Egypt.
I have the same problem, that the navigation is not working in Egypt.
Unfortunately, I cannot find a SD card in my car
But what I did is that I downloaded the bundle for Africa and Middle East (which include Egypt), I got a USB-C Stick and unzipped the maps directly in the stick.
This is what I have in my USB stick.
I followed the steps like here: https://app-connect.volkswagen.com/mapupdates/manuals/Discover_Media_Gen.3_November_2020.pdf
But I never got the maps updated. I left my car running for more than 30 mins and I did not get the navigation database update, is there any recommendation how to do it?

You may be better starting a MIB3 navigation specific thread rather than attaching the same question to each MIB2 navigation thread (which is a different system and a different way of updating)

Thanks for the tip
I just replied here because I thought it would be a related troubleshoot topic
But I already did that here: MIB3 - Navigation Database Update (Non-EU)
Many thanks Robert, I did it yesterday to increase my Satnav SD Card to 32 gigabyte with success. Regard
