Carried out a Nav5 update last night. Took a good half hour even with a good broadband connection. |

I also have a Nav V, and it looks like we're both in the UK - so what maps to you have on yours, then? I have the full (up to date) map of Europe on mine, but according to Garmin Express there don't appear to be any options other than this region available to me to obtain or buy - least of all Timbuktu! All it wants to let me do is reinstall my existing map. I'm somewhat interested as I have vague plans afoot to ride outside of Europe at some point...

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #2 You are indeed correct. The "full" version is no more than a bloated UK and Europe rework. Why it requires so much memory space remains to be seen. I'm gutted, my trip to Timbuktu is now on hold. Alan |

So, anyone know if it';s actually possible to buy and install non-European maps on a European-purchased Navigator? Seems odd not to... I'm sure I once did this years ago with a car GPS device when visiting the US?

Zitat von Freddyfruitbat im Beitrag #4 90 euros https://buy.garmin.com/en-IE/GB/p/513849#coverage cheaper, actually free, to use OSM - open source maps. There are a number of post on the topic on UKGSer which is possibly the best support network for Garmin/BMW devices aimed at motorcyclists. http://www.ukgser.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/46-GPS-Info I used OSM maps when Garmin stopped issuing releases for a Steet Pilot 3. Worked well enough, although the processor was a bit slow for the detail in the data. You won't have that problem with a Zumo/Nav 5. http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #5 I think I found that URL but didn't see the BMW Nav range listed as compatible devices. Nevertheless, at 145 Euros for a New Zealand map I certainly wouldn't be interested anyway! I actually had no idea that you could use OSM maps on Garmins - that's really good news. Will explore UKGSer. As it happens, I also have a not-very-old Garmin in the car, which for reasons best known to themselves the manufacturers have recently stopped supporting; and I was very pissed off on Boxing Day to end up getting pretty lost around a newly-built motorway junction and arriving very late at my destination...
