Updating Nav

[bigweb]

Hi I’ve got 2011 7 series with the CIC Nav. It’s currently running 2011 maps.

Has anyone updated their Nav without getting the dealer to do it? Is it possible to get speed cameras etc on there?

You can buy and download map updates from the BMW site. I used one of the authorised reseller on ebay and managed to get mine for about £45 vs £69 on the BMW site. You need to look up which version of the maps you currently have, method can be found on U-Tube
For that I got a download and had to unzip onto a 32GB memory stick. The reseller failed to give the correct instructions but I got it uploaded into my F11
It then took a couple of long journeys before it settled into full operation as at first it would not allow postcode entry. I now have 2017 maps
