Snave01 wroteI use it when need be. I have zero with BMW’s navigation and realy never have. Side note, late model Porsches use Google Maps as the default.How many people use the BMW nav? I feel like the carplay/android auto options are superior but that's just my opinion.
SCA wroteI'm running 3/2026.30 for 24 hours. Lol. So far so good. Zero issues to report. One change I did notice with my M60i....on previous software (at least the 11/2025.50 version) when pressing the engine Start button there was a small delay before the engine started. With 3/2026.30 that delay is gone. Engine starts right up after pressing Start. I'm good with that change.Given BMWs track record I am holding off for a month or so. At least that is the current plan. I will definitely wait for others to chime in as to the stability of it.

claykin wroteAhh, I see that startup delay in my xD40i. Once I caught the popup message in instrument cluster during the short delay. I don't recall the delay pre 11/2025.50. I'll install RSU in a coupe weeks and see what's what.One change I did notice with my M60i....on previous software (at least the 11/2025.50 version) when pressing the engine Start button there was a small delay before the engine started.

Snave01 wroteI prefer it over AAuto/GMaps in terms of car integration and UI (w/o touching screen), but POI/Traffic/SpeedLimits are terrible (as is voiceRecog of POIs). The Joy 2026-1 map update is wayyy late.How many people use the BMW nav? I feel like the carplay/android auto options are superior but that's just my opinion.
On another note: North America JOY 2026-1 OTA maps installed on 04/18/2026, even before 3/2026.30 installed. Perhaps the 2026-1 release delay is not related to the AI nav feature in 3/2026.30.

DJHakim wroteOk, thank you!Posts on the forum indicate coding gets wiped after RSUs, at least in ID8.5.
Snave01 wroteI do as well. For me it's 50/50 between Google maps and BMW maps.How many people use the BMW nav? I feel like the carplay/android auto options are superior but that's just my opinion.
Bob1974 wroteSometimes, it takes a few days.My 2026 C5 50e is on 11/2025.50. I have run the check updates in the car and it states nothing available. No messages on the MyBMW app either. Is 3/2026.30 available in all the USA?

Past experience is that not all models get all the Feature Upgrades.
