You are right, Martin... I just downloaded the beta, tested it with the Sirius, ice>Link, and the Bluetooth and everything works fine. The Telephone option was slow to appear in the menu but it came after some 30 seconds.

The bird's eye view is a great Nav improvement although as stated before the side streets are missing, but I do not think that this view is intended primarily for urban areas anyway. This is a very useful option in the Interstate, where you can see far away in front and sides -for example- the next service station or the exits without changing the scale. In fact, when I selected for the first time this view the Nav showed the closest Mall pretty nicely a couple of miles from where I am parked, something that I could not see before with the Map view at the same scale.

I only hope that this beta is stable in the long run. Thanks X5World!

Did anyone else notice the extra, greyed out option? Hrmmm

its a european option for the traffic information system. not available/supported in the US

In Europe this is TMC (Traffic Message Channel) and broadcasted on top of the radio-signal. With TMC the nav-system is told about traffic-jams and/or closed roads et on the planned route. You are prompted and can decide to be rerouted. Very NICE feature!

Yep Sirius is fine ... should have mentioned that before :-)

Can someone confirm for me that in the telephone sub-menu, if you press emergency option it no longer changes to the "emergency screen" like this -



Is this just a symptom of the Nav in Euro mode now? Thanks.

I guess that it can still be changed back to the USA mode just by going to the dealer without affecting this new feature, right?

what do you think about exchanging the complete boot file 'navboot' to the one from V26.0 ? did anybody try this?
i assume it will not have effekt to the new features, but i am not shure.

sorry for my english, too.
