Looks the same, feels the same.

Besides adding Roads and POI's, they usually make improvements to the routing algorithm as well.

Attachment 921214

It is available for download now for anyone interested in updating their North American maps to 2014-1 version. This is a 3 USB Thumb Drive version that requires 3 each 8 GB or larger Fat32 Formatted USB Thumb Drives. It can also be done with a single 8 GB USB Thumb Drive, although it is not the preferred method.

For those with pre 09/2009 builds, you can make 3 Double Layer Double Density Drives instead and install it from DVD Drive.

You will of course to need to purchase an FSC Code as always to install it, but your net cost will be 80% less than ordering Online, and even > 80% less than what the dealership charges.

Attachment 921215

PM me if you are interested in the 2014 Map Upgrade details.

Successful... finally.

I had some issues with my old 8gb usb sticks and had to purchase a couple of 16gb sticks for usb2 and usb3.

One other thing for people should know is that it takes about 45min to create the usb sticks and about the same time to complete the update.

All complete now and all is go to go...

perhaps the speed of the memory stick? USB1 vs USB2 vs USB3 not sure what the interface on BMW uses

I ended using a 16 and a 32 i had for other things. The 2 stick method - complete the loads of USB Sticks 1 and 2.

Start the update, load stick 1. When you start loading stick 2 - while it loads, take stick 1 back to your computer, reformat it for usb stick 3. (i couldn't come up w/ a 3rd...)

update worked great - does take a few hours to download prepare the files and load them but it worked well, as advertised.

Only other thing that was confirmed to me by the seller after it happens - the version screen show blank for a few minutes after the load is complete, then after a few it refreshes and shows the 2014-1 version.

Even though I updated from 2011 maps to 2013 maps only a few months ago, I am considering now updating to 2014. Is there any reference detailing the changes included in the 2014 update for North America?

No specifics, there never are. It's generically more roads, more POI's, improved routing algorithm.

FYI. For those asking, 2014 Europe PREMIUM map for CIC is now also available.

We are still waiting on 2014 Europe and North America NEXT maps for NBT.

I just want to be sure Shawnsheridan understands how much his help is appreciated. I certainly do not take for granted the fact that for very little effort and cost I am able to maintain up to date map data. I am sure I speak for everyone here.
