I no longer have a PC with Windows - got so fed up with recent Windows 10 upgrade failure problems I ditched the operating system for freebie Linux which runs so much more quickly and upgrades so easily. Just a shame the Toolbox isn't available for Linux. Will try to have maps updated when I take my car in for the 2nd annual service plus air-con control unit replacement next month.

Once again it would of been nice if Mazda had emailed saying there's an update available..........

I'm the same for me and have never looked back since ditching Windoze years ago. There are one or two intransigent companies who seem to think there are only two operating systems. A work around is to use VirtualBox to run Windoze in a sandbox on your Linux machine.

It is a bit of a pain to set up but a small footprint (50GB for me) runs sweetly when needed. The other alternative is a dual boot machine but I prefer Windoze running in a sandbox that can be returned to its original condition on closure.

I've been using a version of Linux OS on a small netbook for some years now and have been so impressed with the very small footprint, very fast boot time and general speed on a low CPU and small RAM unit. So ditching Windows 10 for Linux was never going to be a problem on my desktop purchased last year once the Windows 10 Falls Upate failure problems became the final straw.

It is interesting to note that on a stat I've seen, the 500 fastest supercomputers worldwide all use Linux. One day one can only hope that software developers will realise Linux is also gaining ground in the general user community. In the meantime I'll just iive with my Mazda provided maps being a little out of date till I can possibly get a dealer to update them.

I guess one e-mail in 2 years is what's considered enough

...possibly get a dealer to update them.

Your dealer will do it for you; not everyone has access to a computer

There's a longer delay to book a dealer appointment in my area than it is for a doctor. Real shortage of dealers unfortunately, the two site dealership where I purchased my car and who went bust a month later has never been replaced in coming up for 2 years now I will play the "What's a computer" card when I call in for 2nd service now booked for late next month.

I’m impressed.

From removing the card from the car, downloading, installing and putting card back in car - 14 minutes

Plus another 3 minutes to download a new version of the toolbox.
