UK X1 SatNav Update to version EUROPE Way 2019-1
Just noticed, via BMW Download Manager, that an update to ‘Road Map EUROPE Way 2019-1’ is now available in the UK. Download size is 14.17GB.
To get this, you have to have the BMW Download Manager software installed on your PC or, as in my case, iMac. Shall see how this goes and install it later today via a USB dongle (I believe a 16GB dongle should suffice but, to avoid issues, I use a 64GB dongle. I haven’t a clue if, or when, this may be available via the car’s onboard SIM card download, or if it’s available for immediate download outside the UK via the Download Manager application.

I tried earlier after seeing your post and it still only offered me the 2018-1 version
Maybe later this evening... These USB map updates included with the ConnectedDrive package don't seem to be all that great value when they're happening once a year, if you're lucky... |

It seems absolutly no system as to when different cars get updates. I have a car built Feb 2018 and it had 2017-3 originally,since updated to 2018-4 and today to 2019-1. Always done via pc and memory stick. |

With regard to problems people are having with only being offered old map versions it looks like early/earlier build f48’s had different map software (“route” mapping rather than “Way” mapping). BMW, changed the map software and appear to have dropped free 3 year updates at the same time. These vehicles will normally have Entrynav HU. This group looks to be getting a poor service from BMW. You are entitled to map updates and should be able to get them. The f48 basic media and Nav head units changed To ENTRYNAV2 HU in 07/2017 and the new “Way” maps are updated 4 times a year. Sorry you are having this hassle and makes me wonder what horrors lurk for us all especially now that BMW appear to see software as an on-going revenue stream! good luck and let us know.

This is the response I received from BMW when I complained that I could not down load the 2019-1
"Good Morning Mr Priest Thank you for your email and sorry for the delayed response After looking into this further and speaking to the map development team, we can confirm that there will only be 1-2 map updates available for your vehicle per year due to the head unit that is installed in the car. The next Map update for your navigation system will be available around June 2019 and will be obtainable for download via your ConnectedDrive portal through our website. This will be the 2019-1 version. For clarification purposes, please note that the number of available map data downloads varies for each BMW model depending on the head unit that is installed in the vehicle. We realise this may cause some disappointment and an inconvenience until the map data is available, but hopefully this clarifies the situation. We can only ask for your continued patience until the next download is available. In the meantime if there's anything else you'd like assistance with, please let us know. Kind regards BMW Connected Drive"

Can anyone explain to me why I have only received (via download manager) map update 2018-1 in July 2018. My car is a Dec 2016 Xline, X drive 2.0 Petrol. Yet others have mentioned that on similar models, they have had "newer" updates. Is it because satnavs have been improved on later models and my version is unable to accept these?

Road Map Europe ROUTE 2019-1 is due out about June - but don't hold your breath - it keeps getting put back. My 3 year map updates run out this weekend - I will not be renewing. Later models have a different head unit and get different maps - these are getting regular updates - those of us on ROUTE have been waiting over 15 months. |

Later “way” maps are on an annual subscription service so get updates 4 times a year but please note that for the U.K the mapping is imo old and out of date. There are several junctions near me which changed 4 years ago and have not changed on BMW poor quality “business Nav”. My suspicion is that “way” maps may get issued 4 times a year but are in fact only “partially” updated annually at best. The appalling quality of the BMW mapping is apparent to anyone who compares it to phone apps let alone TomTom, Garmin etc. BMW appear to have gone with the cheapest option they could! My recommendation is do not bother buying updates more than once every few years. Last edited by MJE60; 04-26-2019 at 05:21 AM.. |
