Does anyone have suggestions from where to purchase map-DVD for NaviPro? Preferably from Europe, to avoid customs fees. I'm looking for Scandinavia/Europe maps.

You can buy a 'third-party' disc copied from the original BMW disc for approx 40 Euros. Otherwise BMW will charge you over 200 Euros. Just google what you are looking for, there are plenty of options.

If you are comfortable with the more popular file-sharing sites you can also get it this way.

I obviously, do not promote or endorse either of the above options which are most probably illegal depending on your country.

Thanks. I already found a few options on how to get the disc. Thanks also for all the PMs.

Is it really worth updating the nav disc ? Apart from adding speed cameras, what are the other benefits of having a disc that is only 6 months newer ?

Surprised to see that it's so cheap. Or did I miss something here?

The give-away words "with speed cameras included" which means they are selling copies. That's the reason they are so cheap.

True, but it's still very cheap to be a copy - that's the reason for my inital thoughts. I mean less than 35 euros...




Or maybe I just need to come out more often.

Interesting... And cheap.

But my BMW Professional NAV is so damn slow, that I don't even use it - aside from being to see where I am. My TomTom 920 gets abused when we need navigation help.

We drove 5000km around Europe last summer, and I never entered a single address to the BMW NAV. It is ancient technology IMHO.
