How old is your map?
Have you ever updated your map and what version are you using?
I think mine is still from 2012 when I bought the car, I wonder if the newer versions display the exit names (when driving on the freeway) as compares to mine that just shows exit numbers instead of names.
Thanks,

It did take a long time to upgrade - had to leave it running overnight and the battery was flat in the morning, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Lots of new neighborhoods that weren't there in 2012...

Don't remember the detail, it was a very large file, but I don't know that my experience was typical. I suspect loading the data onto an SD card may have been quicker than using the USB connection (my stick wasn't the bottleneck!).

The zip file is about 19GB. I no longer have the instructions, so don't remember whether I had to extract certain parts before putting it on the USB drive. It has NTG 4.5 and 4.7, so half of it must be unnecessary.

I bought one on EBay yesterday for $60, it was V20, latest version but it was for 2020, no newer version available.
Downloading 19GB to my SD card took 2.5 hours. I have not installed it yet as I can’t leave the car engine on over night.
I don’t know if it is possible to pause the installation and comeback to it again later. I will send an email to the seller and ask this question.
sent an email to the seller and waiting for reply, meanwhile found this on eurocarupgrades
Mercedes Navigation update usually take between 1-2 hours depending on the vehicle. Turning engine on is suggested in order not to drain the battery, update can be done while driving, also can be paused and continued any time.

V20 is what I got, too. Pop it in and see whether the SD card installation goes faster. I'm curious. It should become pretty obvious - it took ages to get the first percent going on my installation.

I wasn't able to pause it. And, I think I said it elsewhere, I left the ignition on (car parked in the driveway behind another car), but not the engine, and the battery ran out overnight. However, the installation was done by then, I just recharged the battery and it's working fine.

still no street name on the freeway exits, just Exit Number. It would have been nice to see like Central Ave. 1/2 mile, etc.
my wife’s GLC300 with NTG.5.1, map shows street names, very helpful to those with poor vision. It’s easier to prepare to get off the freeway knowing it’s such and such miles away.
