Unfortunately not
After I visited my dealer to log the complaint over the new version, the car went in for a couple of days for them to 'fiddle' with various versions and settings! They commented that the Nav coding was 'missing' (due to me having downgraded to an earlier version) and after the fiddling installed V28 with a promise to load the fixed version when it came out from BMW.
Version 26 (hacked) was superb and TBH I wish I had just stuck with that as it displayed village/suburb details correctly in the RH navigation pane. It's really odd as it seems to have passed over the heads of most nav users here exactly what the issues are. I always give an example of breaking down somewhere you don't know with a common street name - Take where I live in a small village - we have a street called HIGH STREET. So does the near geographic town that is now displayed on my nav instead of my village name. So, as an example, if I was unfamiliar with the area I would look at the nav and see I was in HIGH STREET, BIGTOWN, whereas I should be seeing HIGH STREET, TINYTOWN - because my village is in the close geographic neigborhood of BIGTOWN that is what is shown, but I'm NOT there, I'm in TINYTOWN.
BMW have admitted it's a bug. But no idea when it will be fixed. Perhaps if more Nav users complained to their dealers a fix would be out sooner rather than later or never, as I assume at some point BMW are going to announce 'end of life' for the Mk4 navi like they did for the Mks 1 to 3 and stop providing updates.
