NavTeq Updates BMW NAV DVD
#1
I was just checking the Navteq website for an update to my wife's Expedition, and thought "What the Heck", and searched on my 2004 530 BMW. Here's what the site returned:
Has anyone updated to this DVD yet? Maybe it's shipping with the new 2006 cars....
New updates are now available for your BMW DVD navigation system. Release 2005.2 is currently available, but can not be ordered from this site at this time. To order your new DVD update please call 1-888-NAV-MAPS (1-888-628-6277) or contact your local BMW dealer.

I called NAV Tek about this. They said they had no control over the information data as it is provided to them by Dun and Bradsteet.
It is a expensive DVD so I am not sure if I should get it.

It also seems to be 200 ft off in mapping addresses.? This appears to be a DVD issue and not a car issue as it accuartely countdowns in Arrow display for intersections and turns.

There are some roads in rural areas that aren't even verified yet. It's frustrating when you are in one of these areas because the map shows the streets you're on and everything looks fine but the system will say something like "unable to provide guidance information" and you pretty much have to "wing it" to find where you're going...

I just called my local service center, and they quoted $225 and the part number is 6590-0-398542. It is apparently for the e65, but they said that it would work. I'd love to confirm this before shelling out the $225...
