OHMYX5 is on a distinguished road
Can't find my way even with SATNAV

Hi all, this is gonna be long. I recently purchased my 01 X5 and it came with MKIII SATNAV, but no CD.

I bought a CD from the local BMW Distributor. Version 2007/1. Here comes the irratating part of it.

I tried to key in some destinations of my town, like the CITY, Name of Road, but I can never seem to find the name of the road that I want to go to. I thought maybe that my CD did not have the road name inserted, so I just traveled there without the aid of my SATNAV.

But when I am approaching my destination and I zoomed the Route Map, I see all the roads clearly marked out. Howcome I was not able to select the road when I was told to key in during the Input Destination part?

Does this system only realizes Major Roads or Places of Attractions so it can work? Minor roads, or places of no value does not seem to be able to Input during Destination planning i.e. the name of the road cannot be imputed as the alphabets do not highlight or chooses to autofill a road name that I am not interested in, but when we get closer to the location, I can see the road names clearly defined on the screen. Is there something I am missing?

My map is TeleAtlas.

Thanks all

what version of the OS are you on? See http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/all-...ystem-faq.html if you are not sure how to tell.

You are on Version 17. My recommendation is to update to 3/1-63. Any nav OS disk V22 or higher will take you to that level.

Oh..how do I upgrade this OS? Is it not in the Maps CD? Do I need to make a trip to BMW for this?

If the dealer will do it for you, that's your best option. Otherwise you can download and burn your own copy. You can find details here in the Nav forums. Note that you'll likely also need the KeyCD. PM me if you can't locate a copy of it.

Thanks a bunch. I will ask the Dealer to see if they can do it. If they cannot, I will be looking for your help for the KeyCD. Cheers!
