Many dealers will do the update for you free of charge. For the low low price of a blank CD, I choose to do it myself.

V27 gives you Perspective mode, which is a cool new look to the nav graphics.

Hi guys,

First post.

I own an 05 3.0 X5 with V24 navigation. Does this new version allow me to select a state before city? sometime it takes FOREVER to put the city in just because it searches the whole US, i feel like it would be so much faster if they allowed us to keep California as a state.

Also, what are the main differences between V24 and V27, i looked at the posts and everything but i'm still a little confused. From an owners perspective, what about this newer version makes things easier/cooler in a nutshell?

Thanks so much i appreciate it a lot!

Yes. The states appear in alphabetic order in "Select country" after US and Canada in V27.

V26 improved the on-screen display by using anti-aliased fonts. V27 added perspective mode as well as supporting the search-by-zip and other features of the latest map discs.

Actually the ability to select a State (as well as Zip Code) came about with the release of the 2006.2 map DVD. It works with V26 as well.
