but i dont think i have a dvd with maps of europe on ?

Ok.

anyone know if i download this and burn an image file ?
|
Yes you could, you would need the map disc image and the right software, say imgburn.
Where you would find the map disc image is not generally discused on this forum, this site is used to share information/problems on the nav systems themselves not promote warez.

Or do i have to buy this off ebay or from a dealer ?
|
Again, yes you could buy from both these sources, dealer is the best option but not cheap, ebay like anythinge else on there, you take a chance that it wont work.

I also have no idea which version i need. I imagine the 2007 map dvd's i see on ebay are for the latest BMW's with i-drive etc..
|
Since you have a MK4 then you probably need the HIGH map disc, you can also use the CD (from the mk1,mk2 and mk3) as the mk4 will read an use this disc without any problems.
Hope I have.

Yes, most of the people that read this forum have navigation, but the reason that you have received few replys (i would guess) is that you are a new member and your first questions is "where can I get hooky software", this is not normally the done thing.
Like i said its to help others out with problems that we have with the systems themselves, not link to warez sites.
People don't genarelly like answering querys about warez.
You could be an agent from BMW,the police or even F.A.C.T, it wouldn't take much to close this excellent forum if it were known to supply werez details for hooky software.

i would have thought that anyone with an X5, or indeed a BMW equipped with sat nav might be able to help me ?
|
I just have, when you ask a question, you need to be patient, a lot of people from all over the world read the forums, so time zones need to be taken into account.

I could buy a decent 3rd party satnav unit three times over for that sort of money

Welcome to the world of BMW my freind, lol, no one said owning a BMW would be cheap, although I do agree the map discs are a hidious price.
