BMW Navigation map Disc Australia & NZ GPS SAT NAV UPDATES |
To get the most out of your BMW Navigation System, BMW recommends updating your maps regularly. From closures to new streets, road networks change fast – on average, up to 15 percent per year. That’s why we continuously update our map data to ensure BMW customers have the most powerful navigation system on the road. We’ve got you covered with fresh routes – shortcuts included! The map data for Eastern Europe includes the main road network of Western Europe. For detailed navigation, the corresponding map data must be imported into the vehicle before transferring to a different region. The map data is split into two parts.
