Where can i download the usb map updates?

Apologize if this was already answered but I am unable to find using the search.

I have Automatic Map Update subscribed until 2023 and the same is reflected on my connected drive portal.
But the OTA update doesn't seem to have happened ever and is currently displaying the following:

Road Map NORTH AMERICA Way 2019-3 G1826E1R

Tried calling BMW and they recommend dealer visit to update !?

Is there a portal I can download from BMW for the usb method?

In the UK you can get a download manager from the connected drive website. Try this US site:

I had a similar experience. OTA updates are only delta or partial downloads on top of the existing maps that are too large for the cheapie BMW LTE data plan to full download. If the existing maps are old, then the updates cannot applied on top.

I don't think a complete download for USB is offered in North America and the BMW deaker would charge $$$. After I bought and loaded the complete download that I bought online from a 3rd-party, the OTA updates started working.
