Default How long does a map update take?

I downloaded the map update and put it on SD card and kicked it off. How long does it take to complete? The map in my car is completely outdated and many of the roads around here are hilariously wrong (Houston, TX). I should also ask how current the update files are. Maybe the update already completed and the map data is outdated. Any ideas?

Map updates are released every 6 months but even the newest update is probably at least 6 months behind current, versions can be found at https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a4-.../#post24798189, update takes about 1 hour from SD

Actually, the major map data suppliers can be as much as 1-2 years out of date when updates are released.

Today is my think positive day but it's always funny to see the Google Earth overlay being more precise that the just updated map data...
