Road_Map_AUSTRALIA_NEW_ZEALAND_EVO 2021
Have BMW released the 2021 Map for Australia yet?
BMW site only lets me download 2020-1 but I have seen some sites selling 2021-1 |

I have the same issue and my paid map subscription will expire in about a month so at least want to get the latest before then. I've seen pictures from vehicles so it certainly seems legit.
Mine shows as: Code:
142193.3.211 Road Map AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND EVO 2020-1 NBTevo_U19384I Edit: I have emailed the generic info@ email address. See if I get a useful response. Last edited by Shonky; 06-29-2021 at 08:26 PM.. |

e.g. my 2020-1 update has a file called FSC_<7 digit serialnumber>_0124005B.fsc in a fsc folder on the USB. The sellers selling maps usually are just providing the bare maps but you still need this FSC. |

Pretty much a stock answer from BMW, although they did at least reply (eventually)

Likewise, seems strange NEXT is released but EVO has no love. Will ask the service guys if they can update when it's next in

Hi Shawn,
This thread is for EVO not ROUTE On the BMW download manager BMW AUstralia does not have the 2021 available. Pretty dodgy by BMW as it is available, I purchased mine from Gerry but in reality I should have been able to download it for free from BMW, just didn't want to wait. I'm glad I did as I live in an area that has quite a few streets. 2021 is a big improvement to addition of new streets and it has fixed some of the speed limit data |

Yes the 2020-1 map is quite bad. Pacific highway south to Sydney has major holes due to roadworks. For some reason they deleted the old road so there's no complete route without hundreds of ks of detours. Similarly to the Sunshine coast. Whilst you may not really need that kind of direction as the roads are easy enough to follow, the maps should be better.

Also BMW Connected Drive support did ask me to submit my details through the app to diagnose the issue. That was about a week ago and haven't heard anything yet. My subscription runs out in a few weeks so I want to push them to fix it before then.

Yes I can see them too now. Strangely I received an email saying support were still working on my issue just this morning... go figure. So whether my request caused anything to happen or just a coincidence, who knows?
Anyone know if the maps are much better? As noted above 2020 had some big holes in my area of the world (Brisbane). Last edited by Shonky; 07-13-2021 at 06:41 PM.. |

Well 2021 looks pretty crap still. Pacific Highway still has massive gaps as does the Bruce Highway hesding north. I fail to see why they completely deleted the old roads and left place holders in for the new ones which it won't route on.
I know these major routes don't usually need routing for many people but it does mean you simply can't trust it when in an unfamiliar area or it will take some bad or long way. eg Brisbane to Sydney it calculates as 1800km I note it also says it was generated in January 2021 so why it took so long to be released is anyone's guess.
