Yes I thought that was the case. I certainly have NBT Evo and 2017-3 maps. Time for 2018 - 1 maps?

Like all of us, I have option 609 and it says on the 7th July spec sheet for G30/G31 for that option

Additional information:
Update for the navigation map data 3 years licence free worldwide from BMW retailer.
Update for navigation map data Over the air (OTA). 3 years automatic updates free of charge for up to 4 per year for a single selected country

Does this second point mean that USB updates are also FOC?

Just logged into connected drive for me and automatic map update is listed as booked until July 2020 so for 3 years.
Same goes for usb map update.

If you go to remote cockpit and look at services and what is booked , does it show there?

(You are not going to store on the website are you as for me it will list a cost against the services by any chance)

Here are mine in Remote Cockpit, AP :
ConnectedDrive Services
Remote Services
BMW Online
TeleServices
Intelligent Emergency Call
BMW Connected+
Real Time Traffic Information
Intelligent Voice Assistant

So no not booked either USB or OTA

Here are the ones that can be booked:
USB Map Update
With the USB map update you can update all your navigation maps with one click – simply load onto a USB stick and install in your car.
Details
Online Entertainment Voucher
A range of music you can’t refuse: with BMW Online Entertainment you have unlimited access to more than 30 million music tracks.
Details
Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 synchronises e-mail, contacts and diary entries and enables them to be processed in the vehicle independently of the end device.
Details
Concierge Services
Whether you need an ATM or are searching for a specific restaurant: a BMW Call Centre agent is there to support you around the clock, whenever required.
Details

Could you show me what your booked list looks like?

Many thanks

That's v kind thanks. And just to confirm that you didn't pay £69 for USB Map Update. Ringing the dealer now. They're pretty good and will get back to me.

I'll update here in due course

I added Remote services late on in the ordering process when I realised what used to be free wasn't anymore.

Ditto with mine - and no sign of an OTA updated (still on 2017-3)

Going to chat the genius and maybe the dealer

I found connected services on the phone and by email pretty useless over this. They said speak with dealer.I did and they're on it.

Two isn't a factory failure but there's something up. The dealer told me that they had a customer in who had paid for the usb updates but connected drive would not play ball and add this to the booked services.

Mine was made in Graz. Do you know where yours was made Jim-Bow?

Ok so it doesn't sound like a specific factory problem. Yes I'm waiting for a call back from the dealer. Had one progress report already but they are now speaking with BMW UK to resolve. So far no-one has said that I am not entitled to either or both types of update.

FOC for me... took about 30 mins to update in the car once I plugged USB drive in...

I never paid extra for this, so I can only imagine it was part of my original order... I didn't do anything special... but did pay extra £60 for remote services, which can't be related...

Interestingly I just had to renew my Online Entertainment £160 per year (Deezer, which is woeful compared to Spotify, which I have).. and the BMW Connected service was down, then came up...long story short, I paid for one year and I see my subscription is now valid until 2022, result

HiBluefoz, can I just ask if you have Remote Services that has enabled Maps update.

I only got my car today so early days and just checking a few things. On my list on your 3rd link there is no Maps link. I will buy Remote Services tomorrow as had always expected that but at the mo its showing Maps at the £69 price also.

Cheers

Alan
