NAV DVD FEATURES/ EDITIONS?????

[sabot67]

Whoops! Posted this in the wrong forum initially!

Greetings all. I need to be educated a bit. I have a 2008 US Specs X5 and live in Spain. In a couple of months, I will move to Poland. Poland is not on the NAV DVD that I currently own. Recently on a trip through Germany, I asked a dealer if Poland had been included on recent NAV DVD releases and after making a call to the parts department, I was told yes it was, but that they didn't have any in stock at the moment. No problem, I will get one before moving to Poland I think. Fast forward to this week. The local Spanish BMW dealer tells me that Poland is not on the NAV DVD. Now I don't know what the truth is- no problem, this is why we have the internet, right? This is where I am turning to you. I have tried to look at BMW's website to figure out which countries are on their NAV DVD and cannot find a listing. I have also done general searches and I am more confused than I was before I started. I have come to learn that there are "business" editions, "High" editions and "Professional" editions. Can someone please explain the different editions? Also it would be helpful if anyone knew where I could look to see if Poland maps are on the current DVD release.

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the "reply" of sorts. I am really not sure what this means as you included no text. Do you think that this is the same as the OEM BMW DVD? Is it? I have no clue because you did not write anything. This appears to be 9 CDs rather than 1 DVD and is more expensive than what I paid through BMW when I bought the 1 DVD for all of Europe last year. So without you explaining the link with text, I am really not sure what you are trying to tell me.

Yes, sorry for the answer without text, but it's difficult for me to speak english (i'm french). I understand english when i read, but i can't write (or a little...).
I know that DVD BWM are built by Navteq. And i see on internet a few weeks ago DVD Navteq for BMW (not CD). I don't find anymore the link for DVD.

Sorry if I did not sound nice. I think that you write English better than you think you do. I know that you write English better than I write French! Thank you for trying to help. I accidentally put the same post on the E53 Forum and I now have the answer from a user on that Forum. BMW Professional 2009-2 has maps of Poland (and much of Eastern Europe for that matter) http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/8840/dvdcoverdkz.jpg. Now I must find a dealer in Spain who is willing to actually look in their computer rather than tell me right away that it does not exist.
