A friend of mine has just updated his C6 (RS6) using maps bought from here. It cost him £120 for the whole lot.

Bear in mind that if your car is post facelift (2014 MY onwards) then you will have the 3G+ MMI, rather than the 3G MMI which was standard at the B8 RS4's launch.

What's the difference between the two?

3G is HDD based and was standard from facelift. From launch DVD based was standard with 3G HDD optional.

HDD will be less straightforward to update, and if you buy non-OEM and brick your MMI don't expect a warranty claim to be honoured!

3G is 2D maps delivered on a low res 6.5" screen. 3G+ is 3D maps all displayed via a bigger high res 7" screen.

Pre-FL was DVD based as standard, not HDD. You could still spec HDD with the improvement, which is what I had on my RS4.

My C6 with 3G had 3D maps.

Indeed, the upgrade on pre-facelift cars was called "3G High". Looking at the specs It's not clear what the difference is between 3G High and 3G+, but I suspect its software related rather than hardware.
