Mitsubishi Factory Navigation Systems
Mitsubishi vehicles sold in the UK with factory navigation use a TomTom-based mapping system on most models from 2014 to 2022. The navigation SD card stores the full TomTom map database, which powers the turn-by-turn navigation on the vehicle’s infotainment screen.
Which Mitsubishi Models Use a Navigation SD Card?
- Outlander (2012–2021) — navigation on GX3 Nav, GX4h Nav, and above; includes PHEV variants
- Outlander PHEV (2013–2021) — navigation SD card on higher specification models
- ASX (2010–2021) — navigation on 4 and above trim levels
- Eclipse Cross (2017–2021) — navigation on 3 and 4 trim levels
- L200 Barbarian (2015–2021) — optional navigation with SD card
- Shogun/Shogun Sport (2006–2019) — navigation on higher trim levels
Where Is the SD Card Slot?
On Mitsubishi models with TomTom navigation, the SD card slot is typically on the face of the infotainment head unit — a small slot beside or below the touchscreen. On older models it may be in the glovebox. The card is standard SD size.
What a Current Map Update Includes
- Updated TomTom UK and European road network
- Speed limit revisions for UK roads including new 20mph zones
- Fixed speed camera positions on UK roads
- Updated fuel station and service area data
- Postcode coverage for recently built properties
Installing a Mitsubishi Navigation SD Card
- Start the engine
- Locate the SD card slot on the head unit
- Remove the existing card and insert the new update card
- The navigation system will prompt to install the new maps — confirm
- Allow 20–40 minutes with the engine running
- Leave the card inserted — removing it disables navigation
Mitsubishi PHEV Navigation Considerations
The Outlander PHEV is one of the UK’s most popular plug-in hybrids, and many owners use the factory navigation for routing to charge points. A current map update card includes substantially more EV charging locations than cards from 2020 or earlier, reflecting the significant growth in the UK’s public charging network. Updating the navigation maps on an Outlander PHEV is worthwhile specifically for the expanded charging point POI data.
