professional vs business navigation

Atrain · 08-13-2005, 09:01 PM

Can someone share the differences between business and professional navigation?

Basically :

Business Navigation only shows arrows and street names

Professional Navigation shows maps and arrows and street names

I have business nav and I find it to be very good. Lots of advance warning and clear arrow & street indication. Although the professional nav with maps is obviously the next step up, if you are contemplating one over the other for whatever reason, from my personal experience, I can certainly recommend business nav. Lots of fun and quick to update.

My wife really likes the navigation system because if you happen to make a mistake with the direction you are driving in, contrary to the instructions, the lady never get upset or angry with you. She just quickly re calculates an alternative route.

is the difference between business and professional navigation a function of one DVD or another? Or is it a difference in hardware or built in software.

Also which navigation comes standard and how much does is cost to upgrade.

thanks for all your help.

As said BUsiness and Professional nav have completely different hardware and software.

No E90 comes standard with Nav
