Is there a way through the iDrive menu interface to tell what version map is loaded in my business nav system?

Like an information menu on what's loaded, and the version Australian map etc?

The maps are loaded from a DVD, the box will have the version and the latest is 2010.1.

What if my car was supplied with a "backup" disc, without the version written on it?

I would have thought there is some mechanism in the iDrive Menu which shows the version of Nav map it's got loaded and is active?

In my 2009 car (with new hard drive idrive), in nav screen select options and scroll down to the bottom and select map version. Dont know if this is the same with older cars.
