Any DIY on updating Nav Maps?

Hi wonder if there is a place to download the latest Nav Maps and install yourself?
Thanks,
Frank

Update found some on the web, not needed thanks.

I used to update my OEM BMW maps as well but it's still not as accurate as Google. If you use the navigation feature often, I recommend switching to an android unit. Goggle maps is much better than OEM BMW.
Of course there are other plus to an android unit - ie access to your phone apps and functions.

I agree that would be the best option.

I updated mine using a USB drive from Bimmertech. They shipped me the USB with the update on it once I purchased the product.
Here’s the link so you can research for yourself.
