Many thanks for the reply, I think I'm just going to ignore the updates as recommended. How do I know which map I need, none of the installed maps on the list seem to relate to the UK and I can't identify the 'home region' ? Thanks

Download the 50GB Europe map. That’s what will be installed currently.

Sensus Map Update
Having experimented with different ways of updating maps (I'm mildly OCD about 'Update available' messages), I thought I'd share.
There are three sensible strategies:
Method 1. works if and only if you have an internet connection (active SIM, WiFi connection or tethered phone) and that map isn't too large (e.g. Germany). Method 2. doesn't make the 'Update available' massage go away, and takes more time than you expect, but works. It gives you what you really need until you go for a long journey. You can continue to use the Sensus navigation even while it is updating. Method 3. is my preferred method. Doesn't take materially longer than method 2. given that they both take a long time. That said, you can't use Sensus while the update is being transferred and applied. Trying to download each and every country individually to deal with 'Update available' is a route to an early grave. Method 1. will hoover your data limit, won't work for large countries and will take a long time. Method two takes even more effort and time. By the time you are finished either or both ways, you will already have had to start again. Remember to format or at least clear the USB stick before you start, and put it in the right USB slot (the lower one I think). Sensus Navigation is surprisingly good. I use it in preference to Google Maps or Wayze, mainly for the mini-map and directions in the instrument cluster. Not sure why at least directions can't appear in the cluster through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay given they do in other marques. |

I've got an late 2020 Inscription. I've been trying to update the maps, just north west Europe as I don't have a big enough memory stick for the whole of Europe. I follow the instructions and activate the nav and install the memory stick, it shows a message at the top of the screen that update for North West Europe is installing, however it doesn't show me anywhere what the status of the update is i.e. %etc? Any ideas?

it can take around an hour - will continue if one journey is not long enough. Once it is installed you'll get a message saying something like "will complete when car restarted".
You can then check by going to check for software updates, navigate (!) to the map page, and select the region and it will give the latest map version (currently 1336) I think if you download using the car SIM, you get a % complete reading, which is a bit more friendly.
