#1 | Nav V Adjustments datum

Upon the advice from the forum, I shipped my faulty Nav V to Short Tronics in the US for repairs. Chris did a great job, repaired it quickly (just open circuit tracks) and minimal cost (except for the return postage to Oz - why is the US so expensive?). My Nav V is now working well.

I would like to change the selection of the various bike readings (2/page, 4/page etc) initiated from the magic wheel. I know it can be done but damned if I can find it in the Nav V Owners Manual or the BMW Rider's Manual. Can anyone help?

BTW, I did score a free map upgrade from Garmin

G’day. Think you go the screen with the display you want to change and rotate your wheel as seen here

Considering to fly from the US to Oz is over 22 hours, you shouldn’t be surprised.

do you not get lifetime updates in the Colonial Boondocks?

Garmin Zumo & BMW units sold in Europe tend to come with lifetime updates (Garmin's idea of life not human mortality but usually 20 years or more, with Nav 4 and Zumo 3xx still supported).

To ship the unit from Oz was $US9.50. The return postage was $35!

Great! for some reason, I thought they only updated for 3 years and then you paid. Looks like I was wrong!

That just goes to how mismanaged the US post office is.

By standard International Parcel Post with tracking. Parcel was the same size and weight as when sent. I have noticed that looking at US sourced items on for example, eBay, the cost of postage from the USA often outweighs the cost of the item and is therefore not worth buying. But Trump will change all that

I see the same thing on ebay a lot of times when the item is shipped from another country.

Maybe the planes only fly in the one direction around the globe. That would make for the two differing prices
