|
|
Having recently purchased a new (to me) BMW car, it has its own sat nav instructions on disc.
It doesn't look up postcodes, nor does it give camera warnings.
Do any of the databases here have this facility? If so, what do I need to download?
Thanks. _________________ *****

I'm pretty sure that it's not possible to update the BMW SatNav with cameras or any other type of POI. This is a limitation of most built-in SatNavs. |

That and the price. Oh and the fact it's a major pain when they break down because the whole car has to go in. Plus they are expensive to upgrade.
Apart from that they are fine. |

Oh !
Well I still have my Tom Tom which I used in the old car; so if this packs up, I will get that out. _________________ *****

I believe that this site was produced by one of our members in Australia. It may help? _________________ Jock
