You will see the region, map version and year of your current map. If it's more than a year old, it's time to update. Part of the reason is the fact that roads are always changing. New roads are being built, old roads are being closed or rerouted, two-way streets are being turned into one-way streets. The last thing you want your BMW GPS map to do is send you down a street that hasn't existed for five years, or let you spend an hour weaving through an unfamiliar town when there's a shiny new bypass that could cut your journey time in half.
Thousands of miles of new roads are added as part of the BMW iDrive map update every year, so updating your maps means your navigation system is going to work a lot better. But BMW is also working hard to improve its map data. Earlier versions of the BMW navigation system map update can include mistakes even Google Maps has a few streets that exist in principle, but in reality are just empty fields , and each subsequent map version is going to iron out more of these issues.
What's more, a huge number of points of interest are added to the BMW road map each year, including restaurants, gas stations and attractions. If you're in an unfamiliar area and want to stop off for a bite to eat, having the latest maps on your iDrive will make it easier to use the interactive map to find out what options you have around you.
BMW usually releases up to 3 new versions per year and recommends performing a BMW map update every six months, or annually at the very least. The frequency of new releases strongly depends on the head unit as well as the country. In some regions new map updates are not even released every year so even the newer navigation systems may have to wait.
You can easily check the latest update for your BMW on our website - type in your VIN on the BMW map update page and you will get a list of regions available for your iDrive with years and numbers that stand for the quarter the update was released in. How to check your BMW map version? Go to your iDrive navigation view, open the settings menu and scroll down to Navigation system version. At BimmerTech you can purchase a one-time update or go for extended coverage with subsequent updates. You will need to contact us with your VIN and order number, and we will take care of it.
One more reason to keep your maps up-to-date is to get the latest speed limit information, which can be displayed on your instrument cluster or HUD if your vehicle is equipped with it.
It takes an hour to fit, and also requires a remote BMW coding session done by a BimmerTech technician. The upgrade removes the need for expensive cameras as it uses the updated map info to show the maximum permissible speed on each stretch of road. As the information comes entirely from the nav data, this product is only supported in areas where BMW's maps include speed limit information.
Points of interest make it easy to navigate using the BMW interactive map. Instead of entering the exact address of your destination, the interactive map lets you point to an area and quickly find nearby points of interest.
It's ideal if you don't remember quite where that restaurant is, or want to find somewhere to stop off in an area you don't know well. With the navigation screen open, use the crosshairs icon on the menu to enter interactive mode. Then use the iDrive controller to move the on-screen target to the desired area. Pressing the iDrive controller will give you the option of seeing a list of nearby points of interest, and setting any of them as your destination.
With so many new points of interest being added with each map version, updating to the latest available BMW GPS map update is going to make it more likely you'll find the places you're looking for. Older iDrive versions stored map data on a DVD that could be switched out for an update. The latest BMWs, however, store the map data on an internal hard drive, which can be updated either by performing a BMW map update download and manually saving the data to the iDrive or in some vehicles automatically updated over-the-air by BMW.
In vehicles that require manually updating your navigation's map data, the process is simple and no BMW coding software or programming is required. The system will automatically detect that there is a new map available to install on the iDrive. Link for the download is included in the list. Just click on the Tune-number.
