I spent most of last week in Paris and i couldnt believe that the Eifel Tower or any of the Disney Resort hotels were on the navigation. Also Disneyland was not there, The Eifel tower and disneyland are the one of the biggest attractions in Europe.

Perhaps BMW wanted to charge Disney and Eifel for having a mention on their system. I bet all the BMW dealers were on so you could by some assesories i.e. ?300 mudflaps or more floor mats ?110

NAV tech do the DVD and its information database. BMW has nothing to do with it.
They only specify that they want BMW service centers categorized.

That's correct.
And they only list stuff if they get paid for it.

hmm,, I actually thinks that the Nav system has a lot of interest...
BUT !! I'm very dissapointed that I can't make a waypoint (pitstop).. Our Volvo V70 from 2000 with a CD based navigation system, could make 3 pitstops!
