Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #15 As it was said on an episode of Benny Hill.... "Do you think that will be a popular price?" "Well, I like it."

What is this device really supposed to be? The Nav VI is a GPS/media player/phone interface/bike information display. So, what is this doing that the TFT can't do? Certainly display a map like a GPS during routing, but it is a GPS in its own right? Does it store and play music? Does it let you access your phone while riding? For the price, I needs to really offer something the competition doesn't already have.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #17 it is rather baffling that BMW wants to reinvent the wheel rather than do like they do in the car sector i.e. pay the licence fees to use Amazon and Google interfaces to enable the use of a smartphone as satnav and media source.

Had a talk with local BMW representative while ago about issues with touch screen on NAV VI. He mentioned at that time, that BMW has a lot of fights with Garmin and will release soon their own device based TomTom SW. Branded units from Garmin were already quite expensive, but this one is really too much…

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #17 It's really a NAV7. Yes, it's a GPS in its own right that stores maps, does nav, etc. It does exactly the same stuff as the NAV6, but downloads maps/updates to store locally via Wifi or a data only SIM card. It can also do realtime traffic updates. So, again, it's really just a NAV VII. To that end, the NAV VI isn't much cheaper. The TFT on the RS (and GS, etc) can't display maps. It doesn't have the processing power and regular bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth to get them from the phone. That's why the RT, with the big TFT, connects to the phone via Wifi.

Zitat von Becksy im Beitrag #22 I saw a comment over on advrider.com that it was about 750 Euros, as opposed to $1130USD. Pretty shitty if true.
