My car came with the North American maps also but I'm in Europe for the time being. The dealerships did not have the software nor the knowledge at the time for updating the maps. According to the user's manual (who reads that?) the maps are updated via a DVD through the DVD drive in the car and an authorization code is entered in an undisclosed manner, i.e., how so is not mentioned in the manual. It also indicates that the maps can be updated via the USB port. As for the current maps, in addition to North America, all of Europe is also on the hard drive in a test directory. My local service center was able to figure that out.
