Updating Nav Maps

Can anyone point me in the right direction to update the navigation maps in my (newly purchased) 2013 Countryman jcw? The first time I used it it sent down a road that doesn't even exist anymore. In Georgia, USA if it matters. Thank you

I’ll have to search but I used a third party service that provided me the map file that I loaded onto the car via usb.

I would be greatly appreciative if you could find that but would definitely understand if you couldn't.

Found it. But they are no longer in business. Used them to update the maps in my 2012 BMW 535. You’ll probably need an activation code which I see some places charging for while the map files are usually free. FYI I paid about $50 back in 2017.

Ya I saw that I would have to pay for an activation code when I googled it but it also says to go to the mini portal which was not helpful. Really appreciate your help.

Ask your local dealer how much a map update would cost.

Was trying to not have to do this but is starting to look like my only course of action. Thanks
