Anyone know when the next Navigator upgrade is planned for? I was going to upgrade from V to VI for the phone music integration, but the TFT display with BMW Connectivity on the R1200RS renders that unnecessary and I don’t see the point of paying a shedload for a fancy new screen. As the VI is already 2 years old I’m assuming a newer model must be in the pipeline. |

Maybe it will be TomTom based? They did announce a partnership with BMW for providing app (phone) based navigation in combination with the new TFT display on the new bikes. |

I've tried others, nobody does GPS better than Garmin. Built-ins in 2 of my auto's are all but unusable, Honda's new Goldwing's GPS is perhaps the worst. The one complaint I'd agree with though is: Garmin's price is too high! |

Yeah but the Goldwing has Apple CarPlay. |

Zitat von DavidJR im Beitrag #1 I hope not, on a personal note, I just bought 2 NAV VI, for me and the Mrs. so it would be nice if those are to be the "latest" version available for some period of time. And why should there be a VII version anyway? Looking at the latest features of modern SatNav's, it's all about extending the equipment with social media functions which by itself is nothing I would like to see. Also, BMW already has a connectivity navigation app linked to the TFT screen and my guess is that the focus will be on the latter. But what do I know....
A 2018 "Sport Style" for her and a 2018 "Exclusive Style" for him.

Zitat von TenCats im Beitrag #6Zitat von DavidJR im Beitrag #1 Garmin's latest devices have wifi ability so there is no need to have a computer to update the device via USB with new maps or routes. No doubt they will be convincing BMW they need to offer this ability to their riders as it is not a feature of the Nav 6. |
