2011 528i navi problem

Guys new to BMW , just bought and f10 love the car but as learn the functions ,the navigation system has me in the ocean off the coast of madrid.

I tried to order the map update and they said it wouldnt work,

Map version says ECE BMW 1.0.1 TEST MAP 2008-2.

Dealer says it will be about 1500 $ to get this updated.

Anyone here fix this issue ?
Anyone know why i have a test map from 2008 ?

Thanks Chris

Do you know what type of head unit / navigation system you have? If not, you can find out via a VIN decoding website such as https://www.mdecoder.com

Check type of head unit/navigation as per request above.
I have updated navigation (to North America 2018-1 Premium maps ) on my 2011 528i few months ago myself using links which I found online.
I can PM them to you if needed.
my car has CIC unit with S609A option (Professional Navigation)

Wondering also if the unit is reporting the correct location. Are you able to check the Lat/Lon coordinates it reports vs. Google Maps to see if the position is accurate? If the unit is not reporting correct location, that might explain why the dealer quote was so high.

Are you able to read the Lat/Lon coordinates the system reports for current location? This may not be a map issue.
