V26 Nav OS update completed!

The Blank Screen is about 5-10 seconds is longer than before , but nevertheless, the proper "upgrading screen" appeared.

The lowest speed Alcohol would allow me with either of my drives was 4X and it worked fine.

BTW, I like how the freeways/highways are labeled I10 and CA60, instead of 10 and 60, etc.

Graphics are much better and smoother....

I will upgrade our fellow local BMW buddies NAV system tomorrow.

How do you disable the icons? I'm assuming you mean gas stations, etc...

When you go into the "Information" menu select to select a point of interest there should be an option there to turn the icons on or off

Found it Jeff - thanks again, bro. Any other new features I haven't discovered yet with this new OS, besides graphics and the diable icons?

V26 Features:

* Anti-Aliased graphics to smooth out text, and new 3d-effect (not true 3d) graphics. Text on the map is now a lot easier to read. V26 has bigger and better looking fonts! Just think DOS, and then think Windows TrueType fonts... :-)

* New graphic symbols with 3d shadow effect i.e. it is now a checkered flag instead of a white circle for the destination, all graphics symbols look much better.

* Car symbol is no longer a blue circle with an arrow in it, it is now a nice white circle, with shadow effect, and a little blue arrow direction of travel indicator in it.

* new color schemes

* If available in your country, TMC is easier to get to, and you can now turn on / off specific TMC messages.

* When in Direction of Travel mode, the vehicle symbol is always central on the map, and always faces directly up the screen i.e. you always drive up the screen. The map twists and scrolls under the vehicle symbol i.e. if you drive down a road and come to a junction and turn left, the vehicle symbol stays facing up the screen, while the map rotates underneath.

* The Direction of Travel mode works on higher scales, whereas it didn't in prior versions.

* You can toggle on and off the Points of Interest icons

Mk3 to V26?

Anyone tried upgrading their Mk3 to V26 yet.. I've read conflicting reports that it doesn't work, other posts saying it does?

I read on another board where someone updated their Mk3 with the V26 disk but it still only took it to version 3-1/63, which is the same as you would get from any of the releases from V22 through V25.

My suspicion is that the new features and graphics are limited to the MkIV and the MkIII owners will not be getting this anytime soon (if ever).
