Got an OTA map update today

I was out today and received a 2019-2.5 update for my nav region. A pop up appeared on the screen telling me the update was complete. When I went to check the version it said to restart nav to complete update. OTA updates are truly possible.

it uses the vehicle's connection for the OTA updates so no separate subscription or connection is required.

My house is a year old construction and does not show up on the nav...does show up on google maps/waze. Is there a way to manually check if upgrades are available for the map? How to even check what version of the map I am on?

I am in US.

Hit the Map button, go to Settings and scroll to Update. It will show the version(s) of the map(s).

I think I have 2019-4. I will check it later today and if different will update.

Update: I must not have had an update since I had my head unit replaced because I'm fairly certain I had more recent maps prior to that. Currently my NA Mao is 2018-4 and my region (CO, AZ, etc.) is 2019-2.

A map update doesn't touch any settings, it just updates the map files.

That is because your NA map is as new or newer than the map for your region so there is no need for an extra update. Once a newer region map is issued then you will see the second one.

Mine auto updated last week (UK), I thought it was an old message from when I manually updated it two weeks ago to 2019-2, I just checked the version and it's 2019-2.5
It's a shame the OTA updates for iDrive aren't working, which would save the hassle of going to the dealer.

Yeah, this is different than the OTA updates we are all waiting for affecting the overall car’s software and systems. I get OTA map updates on my 2018 540 once or twice a year and think I’ve seen one on my 2019 X5 since getting it last November.
