Does the navigation system finally work in Queens,NY yet? (the house numbers arent able to be inputted) Did they change that with any newer nav dvds etc? Thanks! (considering to buy 2007.2 dvd but wanted to know if queens addresses worked)

not sure, but you know you can derive the intersecting street from the house # right? i know its not that efficient but you can plug that in.

Hahaha thats right... with the old NAVs you could never enter in an address in Queens area... I could never get any Nav that I used to recognize my aunts addresses in Bayside... I ended up using the main cross streets... 52 ave and 48th street...

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
This is why I bought my TomTom 1. It works no matter where I am, from the GW Bridge area out to Montauk Point. It works just great. Never had a problem.
