I'm an Englishman in... the Orlando, FL area
So my move to FL (and my drive there from near Seattle, WA) is complete (well, I haven't closed yet but that's happening this week).
Two questions if I may: 1. can anyone recommend a dealer in the Sanford/Winter Park/Orlando area that's friendly to those of us with tweaked cars? 2. my map region currently covers the northern states. I thought I knew how to download a new region but I can't for the life of me find it either in IDrive or through Goo.. oops, Bing--does anyone know how to change and download the detailed maps for a different group of states? Thanks! |

I had actually already tried that, however my page does not contain a dropdown menu nor anything that resembles configuration or settings or updates. I recall specifying the collection of states that I should download an update for. I believe I did that with this car but certainly for IDrive 7. You see the collection of states when you look at Update under the map settings. Mine is currently northern states and its FL data is... well, shite. |

Well, take it from me, you're in the right place now. All we have are hurricanes, oven-like heat waves, hurricanes, love bugs, hurricanes, drivers who will shoot you just for fun, hurricanes, cockroaches the size of Datsuns, hurricanes, traffic jams so solid that require stents, hurricanes, and also hurricanes.

I lived in S Florida for 15 years before moving to Microsoft'ville so I'm sadly all-too aware of most of that—not so much on the being shot for fun, though. |

Fires, wind and dense smoke is seriously scary.

Don't forget sandstorm, too, and then a cold front from Canada lowered the temps by up to 50f in 24 hours. I went to bed somewhere I forget at 76f and woke up to 27f the following morning.

That will help being 25 mins out but when the parks are back up to speed it's brutal anywhere's near/approaching Orlando on I-4.

I was in and around the Deerfield Beach and Boca area but visited the water parks and Universal regularly—8 to 10 times a year I'd guess. I think it's fair to say the English outnumbered the Americans in high season. |

// UPDATE
I made the change per Bloozeman's guidance (thank you for that and your perseverance) and... nothing happened. But, ah hah, the next day, nothing happened. This went on for a few more days and I even considered calling the BMW Genius phone number. However, sanity and an act of kindness from BMW's cloud service prevented that pain: the car out-of-the-blue offered a map update and downloaded the southern states--> YEY! Et voila--problem solved. Now when I ask Skippy to take me home, it actually does. |
