What's the cheapest way to get map updates?

I have a 2017 S550 that I bought last year. I thought the maps were updated, but they aren't. Some of the roads aren't correct in my nav system, but they are in Google maps.

I like using my in car maps over Google, especially when it comes to which way the car is pointing before moving. My build sheet says I have " 531 COMAND APS NTG5/NTG5.5". What's the cheapes way to get an update?

What is the latest map version? When I picked mine up a couple months ago I asked the dealer to make sure everything was updated, specifically the maps. They said everything was current and mine shows map version 2018/2019 (v14.0).

For you @NbyNW , it is V24.
For OP, it is V15 as of today. I shared two sources with Carlos (the OP here, not sure which one he chose) and he downloaded the maps successfully to a flash drive as we were chatting yesterday. It costed him 90 USD or less not sure exactly.

Thanks… I’ll call my local dealer and ask them to update if I get some time. Not a big deal as I use Apple or Google maps, still, it should have been updated.

Agreed. Since you’ve already asked them in the past, you could just follow up. They must have skipped it at that time unless you specifically ask and insist on it.
