Navigation update $200

MOCKBA · 05-07-2009, 08:33 PM

BMW has far not best navigation system, however updates look very expensive. For this price I could take Magelan or Muvi updated for 10 years in advance. I remember I got free updates of maps with my first BMW. When BMW introduce paid updates?

Is the update a new DVD disc? Did it just come out? What has been improved? Any aesthetic improvements? Pics?? (sorry got a little excited) lol

EDIT: I just reread your post and realized you haven't actually acquired it yet, so n/m.

Well it was $175 for my Honda Odyssey, so BMW isn't the only one charging a lot.

I had nav on an old 528. They were charging more than that to get the CDs for a portion of the US. There were 4 or 5 segments, and had to be ordered separately.

200 for single DVD containing the whole US is actually an improvement.
