Am I the only one who find built-in maps horrible? I’d prefer just use iPhone google maps to search or navigate versus trying to transfer the address to that ugly looking BMW one. They aren’t even usable as maps, I cannot even read streat names sometimes when I need to turn to the small street, the way the rendering done is just bad.

I think most of us think Google Maps are better rendered and detailed, and Waze provides better nav instructions. The problem is that neither displays on the center iDrive screen as well as BMW's maps, and neither displays in HUD at all. So we settle for an inferior product that is displayed better. imo.

I have received three updates in the last week. The vehicle had never received one since it was picked up in April 2017. It's currently at 2018-3, so I'm anticipating one more very soon.

It's a bit crazy, but I've had four map updates in the past month. I'm now at 2018-4.

Remember that there are two map versions shown. One for the base map that came loaded when you got your cars, and one (lower down on the screen) that shows the version of the local map update that you've signed-up for. It's the second one that shows the version of your updates.

What are your car details? Also, you may want to look at the original post to determine whether your car's map updates are downloadable or OTA.

Does BMW rely on a 3rd party to create maps updates for them? May be that provider doesn't get raw data from some markets as often as they get from others, so the updates lag behind.

BMW has been fast and furious with pushing OTA updates to me in the past 6-8 months. Just got 2019-1 for my region 2 days ago:
