Maps navigation software version

Maps navigation software version
I just updated my nav maps software for the first time.
Apart from needing to buy a USB3 memory stick ( the 2.0 version could not handle the download) and the fact that the handbook instructions were incorrect, It went well after gettng the correct download site from Jaguar Customer Service.
I could only guess that there might have beeen an update and indeed fortunately there was a newer version.
Hopefully, it will have beeen updated to show the correct highway exits for Massachusetts.
They were all changed this year to fall in line with natiional standards.
My question is whether anyone knows how to tell what software version is loaded on the nav. system, and how to tell if there is an update available.
Going through the motions just on the off chance that there is a newer version is a PITA

Not sure if MY21 uses the same updates, but I just check the Jaguar Map Updates website:
Jaguar Navigation Map Updates
Log into your InControl account and then go to the Maps & Services link at the top right of the page. It will show you the current version number. Right now it's 08.030.0123.0154 which came out on 08/28/2021. Write down that number and visit the site the last few days of the month and you'll see that number change. When it does, download the update and upload into the car on the USB stick. Very easy and very quick.

I'm taking my car into the dealership later this week for it's annual maintenance. Is this navigation update something I can have them check for me and possibly update if needed? This technical stuff with a USB stick is not in my wheel house Thunder Dump : )

Portlander: I would expect that if you have decent dealer they would do it. Especially given your age!!
I suggest you take your own USB 3.0 (Amazon) for them to use for the download.
The download took about 15 minutes. Uploading to the car took about 10 minutes.
So I expect they will charge you $200!! (just kidding)

The pedant in me wants to point out that USB 3.0 is a protocol, I think you're talking about a memory stick supporting that protocol.

They should be able to do it for you, but it still requires an active InControl account that they would have to log into for you. Or wait a year and I'll update it for you at the next non-event event.

I have the app installed for my ‘18 XE with ICTP, but I’ve never completed the next step of creating an account and getting ICTP to log into it. My car gets software updates over-the-air, but not map updates. My app can control the car, but IIRC, the account I created for that is separate from what ICTP is trying to log into. Haven’t bothered to figure it out.
You can email Brian or Dan at Scarborough to ask about it.

When uploading to the car, the instructions are:
1. start the car (which I assumed meant to actually start the engine) and ensure the nav system is turned on.
2. Remain staionary (with engine running)
3. Insert USB (3.0 or better) with preloaded map update
4.followw on scereen prompts
5. remove USB when update complete
6. nav system will shut down and restart
7.click "continue" to return to home screen.
Now you can turn engine OFF. - my engine was running the whole time but the upload only took approx 10 minutes.
