I suppose it works fine...some rural addresses have not been in my system. But, how often do you guys get a new DVD or have you ever? I suppose BMW charges for the new disk...do you know how much?

Thanks.

Hello,

here in Europe (Belgium) those DVD's come out twice per year and they charge you 300 Euro for it or around 400 dollars.
Unless you use it every day on let's say a professional basis like salesmen or people who spend a lot of time on the road, you can change it every 1,5 year or so.
In case they've moved route 66 to Alaska or something, you would notice it when sliding in your new DVD

What month will 2007-2 be out? July?

Also, when you buy a new car, is it true you get whatever is the latest one plus the next edition whenever that comes on?
I think I read that somewhere but can't find it now. Is that how it still works?

How did I know that would be the next question?

May/Nov is the cycle.

You get the current edition. That's it.

Thanks...
If for some reason you decide pay the ??? to get a newer version...
Again, do you just get the latest one?
?300 seems a lot for just for a new DVD?

Unfortunately it's not a subscription.

Heaven forfend that anyone is trying to defray their costs by copying their purchase and then selling it on as "new"...
