I found out the country information.
There is a file in the root called CDROM.TOC

That file mentions the full version and country the DVD is for.

For example,
SiemensVDO Automotive AG
SV I IS CO ARN
Content

Volume: CD_5171
Date: 11.1.2006
db: NA(2005Q3)
Area: North America
Supplier: Navteq
Version: 505.19.532.5.84
Customer: 318766705
Features: ZIP3kb - feaV10(BMW) - pti(BMW)
TPD: tpd(20060111)
TMC: no
Phoneme: yes
DBAL: V001.006 V002.004 V003.000

according to the Navteq website, Europe and North America both are 2006.2; however, only North America is DVD. The Europe maps are all CDs. So if it's 4+GB for the file, chances are it's for North America. I could be wrong, but that's what the website is showing when I look for nav maps for both Europe and North America.
EDIT: there is a bug when you search www.navteq.com. after you've searched North America or Europe, you have to close the browser window and open the website again in another window to search the other region.

Just want to make sure I'm downloading the correct file. I'm using bitlord 1.1 and downloading a file called bmw20062.iso. It's a 4.34gb file. Do I need any other files or is this the only one i need? Thanks in advance.

Hey, I'm new at this DVD burning stuff. This is the first time I've used my new DVD burner on my IBM thinkpad t60. First time I've ever heard of torrent. Piece of cake. Trust me.

Obtain torrent file and torrent client..
1. Torrent client: use BitComet and download it from http://www.BitComet.com
2. Download the the correct torrent image http://torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=626299. Click on the downloaded file after you install BitComet, and the agonizingly slow download begins automatically.
3. Wait up to 3 days for the image to download in 4 parts.
4. Part one is a self extracting file that creates a single MDF and single MDS file. Double click on part one to extract. Ignore the MDS file.
5. Change the MDF extension to ISO so the file is named 2006-2.iso
6. I used the cheapy Taiwan made Staples DVD-R discs.
7. I used the free sonic RecordNow to burn the image on the DVD-R at whatever speed the program wanted. Can probably use windows media player to burn the disc. Took about 5 1/2 minutes.
8. Go to Nav DVD player in car/SAV. Eject old disc and insert newly burned disc.
9. Drive and don't get lost. Enjoy the new zip code function.

Still disappointed that the major beltway (Rt 288) around Richmond still doesn't exist on this map.

If someone has the files I will be glad to host them for a coulple hundred people to download. I have them downloading in a torrent but ITS TAKING FOREVER and I admit I am very impatient. In return I will host the download for other people to get. Anyone wanna help a guy out? PM me or email me at [email protected]. Thanks!

can u post the link please, is it one iso, or 4 files? thanks

Someone has to send me a personal link the files first.

Steps 1-5 done. Then I used DVD-R and Nero. I selected "data DVD", and burned it at 1x. Burn worked fine, but it is not recognized by my nav system. Suggestions?
