How to Update the Geely Vision In-Car Navigation System?

Updating the Geely Vision navigation system usually requires visiting an after-sales service point for an upgrade. Alternatively, the manufacturer often releases dedicated management software. Users can wait for the new version of the software and data to be released, download it on a computer, and then connect the navigation device to install the update, completing the navigation system upgrade. Below is some related information about the navigation system: Definition: In-car navigation utilizes the vehicle's GPS (Global Positioning System) in conjunction with electronic maps to conveniently and accurately guide drivers to their destinations via the shortest or fastest routes, making it a helpful assistant for drivers. Appearance: Notable features include the adoption of Geely's fourth-generation pure black logo, a flowing three-dimensional ripple design, and the upgrade of the original fog lights to vertically arranged LED daytime running lights. The number of LED light sources has also increased from 16 to 24, enhancing brightness.

Geely Vision's in-car navigation updates mainly come through two channels. For older models, you typically need to visit a 4S dealership where they connect a computer to upgrade the map package using specialized software. Newer models with built-in 4G modules are much more convenient - just find the 'Map Update' option in the vehicle settings, connect to WiFi or use the car's data plan to automatically download the latest version. During my last update, I learned it's crucial to ensure at least 10GB of free storage space on the car's system, and never turn off the engine or power during the process. The map providers (usually AutoNavi or Baidu) release updates three to four times annually. If you encounter difficulties, I recommend visiting the 4S store - their technicians can complete the update in about ten minutes while also checking your GPS antenna signal. Always remember to reboot the system after updating and test the navigation's positioning accuracy.

I've updated it manually a few times and found the process isn't complicated. First, locate the navigation app on the central control screen, tap the menu button in the upper right corner, and select 'Offline Maps'. Inside, you'll see options to download maps by province. The key is to connect to a mobile hotspot or garage WiFi, as the car's built-in data has limitations. It's best to keep the vehicle powered during the update - the full map package is nearly 7GB and takes most of the day to download. If it gets stuck, simultaneously press the power and HOME buttons to force restart the system. As a reminder, don't forget to enable 'Auto Update' in settings after upgrading. My 2017 Vision can only be updated manually this way - I've heard cars manufactured after 2019 support OTA automatic updates.

Updating the navigation system depends on the vehicle's year. For models after 2018, most Emgrands support online updates, which can be done through the internet-connected services. For older models, you'll need to remove the SD card from the center console, download the corresponding year's upgrade package from Geely's official website, and extract it onto the card. Be especially careful not to select the wrong version when downloading—some people have mistakenly installed Emgrand's package, causing system crashes. Always format the storage card before inserting it, and after extraction, check that the number of files is around 180. The entire process takes about half an hour, and upon completion, the system will re-establish satellite positioning. I recommend updating quarterly, especially for drivers who frequently travel long distances, as many new roads are added within six months.
