Then click ‘remote cockpit’ ‘control’ ‘map update’ ‘manual map update’ then download the windows or mac version.

BTW you will need a 64gb usb stick to download the map to.
Please could you tell me...
1. The USB Map Update I’m finding is £69.95?
2. If I download this and update the maps on the car via a USB stick will this make the missing RTTI roads reappear? Currently, some roads, including the North Circular, are missing the RTTI.

Thank you, in advance.
I have this issue, 2018 car with pro nav etc and OTA updates yet OTA never worked, and every time I go into the portal USB update is chargeable.

Never had a resolution from BMW CS, absolutely useless! If you ever find an answer do let me know

I think you need to generate an FSC code to do map update on NBT

Rang BMW iDrive people. Useless.
Apparantly my brand new car, with media pro, doesn't qualify for free map updates. Rung the dealer, he says they're talking poo poo and is going to get it sorted

Oh, maybe they've changed it for newer map versions, i tried several empty 32gb ones on an older map and definitely didn't work.

Never had BMW Sat Nav before but in my new 320i has Professional Media and updated via download and USB but needed a 64GB drive.

Tried a 32GB and didn't work...the map update file is something like 31.89GB however if you re-format a 32GB USB the available space is in fact 31.12GB [ish].

I did not have a 64GB USB so I used my dashcam SD Card and formatted it as FAT32, download portal picked it up no problem and update to the car was fine....afterwards re-formatted and popped it back in my dashcam

I downloaded the maps the other day and put them onto a 64GB USB stick.
I put the USB in the car this morning and the car recognised it straight away and i OK'd the install of the new version.
It only seemed to take seconds to install....does this sound correct?
IDrive now shows nav version as 2018-3.

If it doing a full update it should take about 20-40 minutes 'ish, sounds like your system may already have had a lot of the updates already loaded via OTA

How very strange, would not have expected it to be that quick, my map upgrade was from 2017-4 to 2018-3

My March 17 registered F31 is showing 2018-1 as the current version. I have never downloaded a USB update from BMW ConnectedDrive so the OTA updates must still be working ?

Maybe working in a fashion...I picked my car up [new to me] 2 weeks ago and it was still on 2017-4

No, if it had done an OTA update then it would show UK map as 2018-2 or 2018-3 (and say europe map is still 2018-1)

Ok , but why does it show 2018-1 if I have never updated it manually for a car that hasn’t been in a BMW dealership since May 2017 when I bought it ?

Not sure, but I’ve never heard of OTA updating the whole europe map, just the UK part.
