Google Maps Software Update
Are any other Macan drivers waiting for the software update for Google Maps for the sat nav. Mine stopped loading this feature in mid December. The fix was meant to arrive end of Jan but seems to be delayed. Apparently it can’t be loaded remotely but requires a visit to the workshop.
I’ve been contacted by Porsche as I raised a support ticket around November time and they have advised exactly as you state, It needs an update which only an OPC can do. My name has been added to a list at my local OPC and when the solution becomes available I will have to book my car in fir a PCM update. Frustrating.
Google maps on my Gen 2 is working without any problems.
I do know that Audi cars manufactured before 2018 are no longer able to view Google maps as, apparently, Google changed their software, so early Audi MMI systems are now unable to download their maps.....perhaps Porsche used similar hardware for their early PCM systems?

I think you’re spot on Alan. Anyway, got the upgrade at Porsche Guildford yesterday. It took the best part of 5 hours as apparently, it was crashing at 90%. It was applied using an SD card. It’s now working but doesn’t look as good as it did previously. There is now a blue bar across the top of the screen which covers about 15% of the total screen area.
Good to hear you’ve got it sorted, Marra.....I believe the blue bar across the top of the screen is actually a representation of the sky/horizon, and this is exactly what members on Audi forums are experiencing after Audi upgraded their MMI systems, and they also confirm it’s not as good as the original Google maps.
