Navigation issues
I'm not certain but it's either an mk3 or mk4 nav. This happen to anyone before? |

The downside was they installed V27.1 over my V26(perspective) OS - so I now have a Nav where it only tells me where I am near, not where I actually am!! Anyhow, back to your problem. A visit to the dealer may be in order - is your car still under warranty? |

Then go back to the main menu. Select "GPS Navigation", "Map Positioning" then select "Perspective" ! Hey Presto. |

By the way, if the map disk is a DVD you have a MK IV SatNav.

The issue is that with V27 and above, in the split screen RH pane, you do NOT get your location if you are in a suburb or village. All you get is the NEAREST large town (presumably based on postcode) That is the issue with V27+ but of course anyone who travels the motorways/freeways between major cities won't see the problem - its only if you goo off onto the minor roads through small villages - something that you have to do a lot in the UK. Therefore if you break down/have a prang, its no good the nav telling you that your location is Main Streen, Bigtown when in fact you are in Main Street, Tinyville (which is a village that just happens to be closeish to Bigtown) |

I have logged the issue with BMW and they involved my dealer to do some diagnostics on my car and a couple of others on different versions. They have now finally conceded that there IS a bug/issue in the software on V27, V27.1 and V28 BUT they claim it could be 12 to 18 months (yes MONTHS) before a fix comes out! I threatened BMW with civil action about this as having a system that DID work fine (albeit without perspective officially in V26) and they release software which downgrades the facilities, then in my view the unit was 'not as sold' and unfit for purpose (it's supposed to tell you exactly where you are, not where you are near). |
