Map Updates

There are two dates on my map info. 2018-4 about halfway down, and 2019-3 at the bottom. Which is the map release date?

My G20 was purchased in July, 2019. See attached.

The top, number 2018-4, that's the base map and covers all of North America. The bottom number, 2019-3, is your "online map update" that covers the states listed and can be set on the ConnectedDrive portal site.

The online map update happens four times a year. I have 2020-1 in my 530e so I'm sure you'll get that soon.

My understanding is that you'd need the dealer to update the base map to the newer map. What I don't have clarity on is if this is free or if there is a charge for this.

In the UK you can download the maps for free I think for 3 years rather then wait for the OTA updates.

If you log onto Connected Drive on a PC, find the map update bit. It'll take you to a section where you download a BMW installer.
Enter your VIN and it will download the update. Then you need to save it to a USB stick and install in the car.
