Frequently Asked Questions - NVD-U03N SONY

How do I update the maps on my Sony NVD-U03N?

Insert the supplied disc into your computer, install the connection software, then connect the GPS via USB. Launch the application and select 'Transfer new maps'. Follow the on-screen instructions. Ensure the computer does not go into sleep mode during the transfer.

What should I do if the screen displays 'The destination is not on the current map' after an update?

This message may appear if the favorites saved before the update no longer match the new map data. Check that the destination is within the selected map area. If it is, delete and re-save the destination in favorites.

How do I free up space on my device before an update?

In the main menu of the connection software, select 'Delete languages'. Check unused languages and click 'Delete →'. This will free up space for new maps.

Is it possible to restore the original maps after an update?

No, once the new maps are installed, it is impossible to revert to the default map data. Therefore, it is recommended to note your favorites before the update.

How do I keep my favorites during the update?

Before the update, note the addresses of your favorites. You can view them by going to 'New destination' > 'Route' > 'Favorites'. After the update, if a favorite is no longer recognized, delete it and re-save it.

What should I do if the USB cable disconnects during the transfer?

Cancel the current process, firmly reconnect the USB cable, then restart the transfer from the beginning.

The device no longer turns on, what should I do?

6 I cannot use a saved route. What should I do?

You may have selected a route out of the range of the selected map. Confirm whether the selected route is within the range of the selected map data.

About the data on "Favorites"

- Before installation, we recommend that you write down the addresses of important data on “Favorites.”

The addresses can be checked by the following procedure.

1 From the top menu, touch "New Destination" → "Route planning."
2 Touch → "Favorites."
3 Select the desired item.
4 Touch → ↗.

The address appears.

- After installing the new map data, the message below may appear when you select the destinations on “Favorites,” “Home,” or “Recent destinations” which are registered prior to the installation.

"The selected destination is not within the range of the selected map. Please select another map or another destination."

This is due to the map data format being renewed, and the area being divided as a result of an increase in data capacity.

Check if the selected destination point is within the range of the selected map.

If so, delete the destination once, then register again to use.
