I'm about to do an Texas to SC ( stopping in Spartanburg for a New Owner's Track Day). I didn't think to check if the several "regions" I passed through were updated. How could you tell that your "not normal" region updated? I just finished a Texas (normal region) to California trip. I think it was after about 8 hours or so in the region so as long as you aren't planning on going on fairly new roads as soon as you get into a region I would think the Nav should be fine. Mine updated while traveling through various regions including Canada.
When you get outside of some metro areas, the data rates can be quite slow, so not sure how fast that will happen, either. I'm hoping that the embedded SIM card will allow that to happen. I have a trip coming up where I may cross three regions, and am not sure how it will respond. I would prefer that the maps updated the entire area rather than just a region. Paladin1, Can you be specific about the URL you found the Region 1-13 for US maps on CONNECTED DRIVE? I can't find that anywhere using my Mac Safari browser. I do see it on the BMW UK site, just not on the site for us poor Colonials. My Connected Drive site only has options for automatic updates for regions 1-13 (and you can only select one) - no download software or other updates. I guess that in the USA the Download Manager will download the full USA mapping update.Īs far as I can tell, this is not available in the US. The OTA update in the car would obviously struggle with 28Gb, so only does the local area/country/state. You then put the update on a USB stick on your PC, then plug the USB stick into the car.
I have just checked and map Europe 2020-4 (I am in the UK) is now available and a mere 28Gb download, taking less than 2 hours. This app can be found hiding on the BMW website - I forget where. You can update all the maps in you car via the "BMW Download Manager" app on a PC (or mac?).
