Cannot get Nav or Map in center of live cockpit?

Just picked up a 19 330i today. Got CarPlay to work pretty easy. However when I selected NAV it just says "Navigation is starting".... but will not come up. Is that because I have CarPlay, so its one or the other?

Also, in the center of the Live Cockpit, its just blank. Played with settings, but cannot figure it out. Is it because I have Car Play on, so its only Car Play or Nav / Maps?

One or the other, and you might need the latest software update for navigation to appear on the live cockpit when using Carplay (but this feature will still work with regular navigation)

You'll need 07.20.54 software. Your car is capable of an RSU which is rolling out to cars in no particular order. So it might just happen, but make sure you have a connected drive profile on your phone and logged into the car.

It looks like my software is 7/2020. However where specifically can I check?

Do I need to create a profile to use NAV? That seems odd. Also, the weather location will not come up either.

Under ‘car’ ‘settings’ you will find an option to check for software updates. This will show what your current version is.

Sounds like the car was updated before you picked it up and the Nav wasn't enabled. Just bring it in to the dealer and they'll activate the Nav release code. Easy fix.

Also, the regular Nav will always work even if you're using CarPlay.

that’s right
just update to the latest firmware and the screen will work as intended

You should create a profile though. It will remember a lot more settings, will download latest software automatically, and allow you to use the connected drive app.
