Let me know if you have any issues. And remember to keep the Original Disc, as you'll always need that after a battery disconnect.

I haven't seen a new version for download online, but hopefully someone will soon. As these cars get older, it's less likely that someone spends $200-300 for a Disc, and then shares it.
And with our group purchase, we're slowly getting more people, but I think we're still a fair way away from having enough.



Burned the C2 image and went to try it on. It loads and everything BUT I only have Australian addresses to choose from and cannot find any way to switch to NZ.
What puzzles me a bit is that the map shows my current position which to means means that NZ maps are also loaded :?

Sounds like it's working :).

I have the same issue with mine, every time I do a battery disconnect. It defaults to NSW, so press Menu, Destination Entry, and under the map press 'Change'. It'll be set to NSW, so in your case change it to NZN or NZS (North or South).
I think they do that to reduce the number of streets (and duplicate street names) across multiple states, which makes searching faster.

The Map Disc is a combined Aus & NZ maps, so they should work in both countries like you mentioned (loading your location ok).

I am pretty sure I did just that and it does not have NZ there, only AU states.
If these are the same C2 maps as here viewtopic.php?f=22&t=26574&start=150 then they're sadly AU only :/
I guess that's why C2 is significantly smaller than C1. Just do not understand why it shows my location ok.

Oh, damn :?. On my C1 it has the Australian States and 2 NZ options.
Yes, it would be the same version as that thread.

And yeah, that does explain why C2 is smaller.

I have the previous version of C2 as well, but that Disc Image also just says 'Australia v19'. Whereas all the C1 versions have both NZ and Aus. Sorry about that, I hadn't realised that before. Good luck with your search for an NZ copy.

Created new thread for requesting the V22 Maps - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=34411

Will keep this thread open in case a copy of the V21 Maps ever surface given V20 was the last commonly available and V21 would still be appreciated!

Not having much luck I am afraid.. :(

Surprised no one want to chip in and do a "group" buy, I should just buy V22 on my own and tease you all :D

Yeah it's been hard enough to find the last 2 versions for Aus (there was a Torrent but no one ever seeded), let alone one for NZ which has a smaller population

We had a few people put their hand in for a group buy, but not enough. And since C2 looks like it doesn't come in combined Aus/NZ versions, you'd have to find NZ people who need C2 as well.

One update I have, is that Subaru now seems to sell their updates online (link below). That wasn't the case the last time I checked. And they list TomTom as their map supplier, not Whereis anymore.
And importantly for soba noodle, they are combined Aus/NZ Discs. But they list all Gen4 Libs as C2 maps, which isn't correct.

https://www.subaru.com.au/satellite-navigation-mapping-updates

These guys below still sell the Whereis versions, and they're Aus Only as we discovered others are as well. They say NZ customers should contact them.
