Which already is available however it has the "Face North" option exchanged with the perspective view. So no "Face North" option.

That's correct. Just keep in mind that you'll lose the "Face North"-option!

I do not have any problem. I have never used "Face North".

Me too! I'll stick with V26.09A or go back to V26 rather than lose "Face North", it's more usefull to me than Perspective. But I rather have Perspective than "Direction of Travel"!

Maybe ambishop makes an alternative image with "Direction of Travel" replaced...

That option has been requested. I'm hoping that we may see this alternative available to us later today.

I second that. Before I had "Perspective" I've never switched to "Direction of Travel," simply because the map view was too jumpy on larger scales on my MK4. So, if one could make a V26 available with "Face North" and "Perspective" I'd be more than happy to go for that. By the way, I find it more adequate to replace "Direction of Travel" since the perspective view is just like that, only in 3D, isn't it?

As a side note to those having strange effects or even lockups: I've been using V26.09A for almost two weeks now without any problems in my E38-2001. Actually I'm not so sure if I'd go for the patched V26 right ahead, even if someone would change it to replace "Direction of Travel" instead of "Face North", but I'd certainly sleep better if I'd knew I could just the moment I'm running into problems with the current setup

Last but not least I'd like to thank everybody here who contributed to this amazing work. I've no idea how helpful the Bimmer dealers and garages are in the States, but here in Germany it's real hard to find someone listening to your problems and/or wishes (not to speak of the ability to help with real technical problems) So, this board has been and still is way more helpful to me than everything else before. Thanks, guys!

@the guys doing the reprogramming:
if the code looks just like the sample posted on the first page, I would dare to just add an extra item in the menu, and have 3 options. OK, it's a bigger risk than changing one of the available options, but it's just a minor difference in 'risk factor'. I'd be more than happy to try that in my own car, and post the results, if you need a risk-taker...
If that works out, who knows what other stuff can be made available in the menu...
