I'm not sure if you read my 1st post here and also this thread:

Yes Tele Atlas is the new guy, but you can see their response to me and given that all BMW's will have hard drive based systems going forward, the old technology is getting laid to rest. I suppose the writing was on the wall when the last Nav update (v32) came out in June 2008 and nothing since.

Of note, the new NavTeq Land Rover disks come in two flavors.
- One DVD for North America (version 2009-2010) that covers the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Canada, for $199.
- A second option that comes as two DVD's called the North America and Mexico version (version 2009-2010) and covers
the continental United States, Canada and now Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are included, for $349.

Brian - a letter campaign is a great idea. Want to start one? or better yet how about a website petition that people can sign up on? WWW.BMWNAVDISK.COM or something???

Maybe BMW has simply changed their supplier from NavTeq to someone else?

eg TeleAtlas sell BMW map discs for Europe:
Online Shop - Tele Atlas

So maybe TeleAtlas will become the new map supplier for BMW USA....
