Owners manual under Navigation mentions SD card, but doesn't even say where it is. Then in the console section, there is no mention of the SD card slot located just above the USB post. 2 different depts writing the sections must have thought the other one would discuss it. Oh well.
This is in the C8 Infotainment Guide. "If equipped, the infotainment system can receive map updates over the air. Map updates occur within a 161 km (100 mi) radius around the home address on file. This boundary will adjust over time based on driving patterns. The vehicle uses a Cloud-connected service to receive the data and downloads it to the system’s onboard SD card, if equipped. A data plan or compatible mobile device hotspot is required. The SD card is required for navigation system function."

It also goes on to say:
When a map update is available, a
prompt will appear on the
infotainment display. Once the
update is accepted, it will download
and run in the background without
interruption any infotainment
functions. The download will carry
over ignition cycles, stopping and
starting where it left off. The
updates can be set to download
automatically.
I have never been prompted to download a map update in over 9 months of driving my C8.
