Oh, Question. I noticed on my way to work that in "perspective view" it doesnt really show any road names except major ones. Is this normal?
Yes normal, the video driver can't render all the names in 3d, so only the main roads and "some" others get rendered.

I kinda miss see'ing road names before I approach them. Not on my drive to work necessairly, but when traveling. Is there any way to change this?
Don't use perspective, use 2d that way you see all the names as before.

hope this helps

Yes, thanks for the help! I'll just switch it when I'm in unfamiliar territory so I can see the roads as I approach them...

On to the editor thread, I have some reading to do...

They are preloaded as POIS (points of Interest), you need to select them in the POI menu

I'm interested as well, all I ever remember seeing was hotels, prior to upgrading. I'm see'ing nothing now, but I thought it might be the same reason why I dont see all the street names, because I'm in perspective mode...

Personally, I'd like them to fix the 'bug' whereby the name of small towns, villages and suburbs are no longer displayed in the RH window

Highly unlikely, as I understand it, the development of the nav operating system software has reached a stage where BMW is requesting bug fixes only from their supplier, no new features.

BMW are investing in the current iDrive systems, not the old ibus-based systems
