No new disc required.

What's the advantage of this "bird's view"? Anything? Am I missing something? I too agree about the clouds. Save 'em.

Can someone repost the pictures...the original post has broken links to the 3D nav images.

Thanks.

I agree. I think SUN could have done a better job. It looks a little cheesy. Unless the clouds move, shooting lighting and rain, or something dramatic like that, it's not that great an improvement.

Don't know how this guy got the photo, but if we works at BMW in Germany, take it back to the drawing board, Dude.

The Inifiniti's is better. You can actually see a 3D perspective with simulation of downtown buildings which is the point of birds eye view. Adding clouds and making the visual information showm smaller is not an improvement. Now if the sky images were to change according to the acutal weather at the place of destination? Now that would be asking too much but would acutally be a useful trade off for the reduced image size.
