Little help with navigation please.....

My navigation "voice-over" in the 2013 X5 only say things like
"Turn left in 800 feet" , "bear right in 1 mile"...it does not give
street names , avenues, etc. If this is as good as gets I'll just use
Google navigation on the I-phone . Is there a secret handshake or
toggle that I'm unaware of ? ... please dont tell me I need to buy the
latest update (spendy). Ha !

Thanks

Charles

Agree with above...BUT you should know that updates are NOT 'spendy' unless you buy from the dealer.

I got a 2015 BMW Nav Disc off of ebay for $10 or $15 and have had no issues.

When you get these disk, do you just play them to do the update or is there something else you need to do?
