To think of it I was going to approach the dealer to get this done for me. God only knows how much they would have charged for this.

I managed to update the inbuilt offline maps for my Swift. I think having inbuilt navigation is a good idea as on long drives it may not be good for your smartphone to be connected to the charging system for 8 to 10 hours at a stretch.
The current version of the map is as below.
Worm: sd2-Suzuki-SLN_IND_Update8 v4
DT-Title: India Update DC
Project-Bez: Suzuki SLN India 2023 Update
Below are the steps to update the offline map. You will need a few things for the update.
- PC/Smartphone.
- SD card reader to be connected to PC/Smart phone.
- Serial no of your head unit.
- Chassis no of your car.
- Take out the SD card from the navigation unit of your car.
- Go to the link below and enter all details. You will need your car’s
www.marutisuzuki.com/corpora…ch-us/map-home
- Enter the navigation unit’s serial no which is found in the settings of the home screen of the head unit. Post sometime it will generate a zip file which you need to download and keep.
- Connect your SD card to your PC/Smartphone using an SD card reader or any similar device and take a backup of all the contents to be on the safe side.
- Make sure the SD card read-only mode is off (there is a slider, slide it up as in my case) and format the card making sure the backup was already taken before.
- Post format extract the contents of the zip folder to the SD card drive. Make sure the contents are extracted at the root and only the below folders should be visible. If your SD card reader is mapped to F drive then the folders should be like F:\CRYPTNAV & F:\TOLLFREE. No other folder should be there in F:\.
Once we are done make the SD card to read only mode and insert the card in the head unit. Once the car navigation initializes you can see the updated version.
Before.
After update.
To think of it I was going to approach the dealer to get this done for me. God only knows how much they would have charged for this. I was told at the beginning the Sd-card costs 8k.
