Good to know I'm not the only one thanks! Shame that really as it would save an awful lot of hassle, although to be honest if it was only updating the UK map (or local as the case may be for others) that would be a reason to not do it or allow it!

I've now downloaded the painful 52 GB of maps (2 x 26!) and installed them without issue, at least that is quite clear and goes about it nicely when one does do it manually. The 4 series definitely took a lot longer to update (around 40 minutes) than the 7, not sure if this was due to a difference in the hardware or simply that the 4 was using only a UK map with basic EU rather than full EU...in any case, the 7 did it in about 20 minutes tops I reckon.

Safe travels everyone.
