Map updates 2020 GLC300

I just got this email message from Mercedes-Benz:"Part of our offer for you is the "Online Map Update" service. We have new navigation maps waiting for you. The map for your region will be automatically installed in your Mercedes at no extra charge."

How do I ascertain whether this update has been completed? What is the latest map version for US/California?

Thanks and stay safe!
Bob

I normally get a message on the display once the home region has been updated. You can also check the map versions. Only the home region gets automatically pushed to the car, but it takes a bit of time before it gets pushed. The other regions have to be manually downloaded from the portal. If you wanna update right away, you can just download all the regions and manually do the update. The portal also shows you what's the latest version and what's currently installed on the car.

superswiss,
"Gateway timeout" when I try to login at the link you sent. My car shows "2019 (V12.0) NAM Map 11 California Hawaii Nevada V280. Can you confirm whether this is the latest?

It's not. When the website is working it'll let you get new maps on a USB for installation.

Yeah, the portal appears to be down at the moment. I don't know what the latest map version for MBUX is, but I'm guessing "2020 (V13.0)". I have NTG 5.5, so the version numbers are different between the two systems, however, the latest map update for both is 2020, so you are definitely still running an older version from last year. Once the portal is back up, you should be able to do a manual download if you don't wanna wait for the OTA update.

Read this post. It is all about maps. The manual maps allow for voice updates If any, where the in car do not.

Strange, I watched (and waited, it was slow) while the car auto-downloaded updated maps by itself. It was in one of the Settings sections, but it DID give you progress info. I didn't have to manually do anything like d/l to USB and copy them to the car.

Doing it online you can update maps and voice, and maps not just for your area, but yes it’s slow, download was about a half hour, and the using the USB in the car was almost another half hour, but I upgraded about 19GB of info, as I select all regions to download and update from the Mercedes Me site

Yes, you can configure one region in the portal to update automatically, but it only updates the map. There are voice recognition updates that go along with the map updates, at least for COMAND, which have to be manually installed and if you want to update any other region, they have to be manually updated as well. It's all explained on this page.
