My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[darrell]

Mine also had maps from 2017.2. I called Garmin and spoke to someone who said my replacement unit was brand new and in fact was assembled on Nov 5, 2020 and they had just received. He said as far as he knows all the units come with 2017.2 maps.

Seems strange to me they would load a new unit with old maps.
I trust it's a new unit, but why use old maps?

If my research is correct and my memory still functions as I hope it is I believe the Nav VI was released in the 2nd quarter of 2017. So maybe that is why all are loaded with 2017.2. I just checked with a friend of mine who bought at NAV VI in the fall of 2018 and he has never updated it. It has 2017.2 maps loaded on it right now.
