So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye ...
Looks like NavTeq is officially done with BMW...
NAVTEQ - Navigation Map Updates for Your BMW - BMW The new company, Tele Atlas, sent me this reply when I asked about a map disk for a BMW X5 DVD based nav system: Dear Sir, We do support this navigation system . The brand might make use of our mapping material but we do not sell products which have the USA mapped on them.We have mapped USA, but the producer of the system has not opted to develop a product with these maps. It of course depends on which system you have built-in. If it is a Blaupunkt system or a VDO system, we can guarantee you that there is no USA product on the market. Kind Regards, The Tele Atlas team Hope that the USA doesn't change any roads past 10-2008... b/c we're screwed Last edited by X5 Meister; 03-02-2010 at 09:45 PM.

Well that totally sucks. I am guessing that some negotiations went south. I wonder if Tele Atlas will pick up our early systems some day.

What is most confusing is that they still make the disks for Europe and the rest of the world.

This can not last long, because BMW has a lot of new X3, X5, 6 Series, and other models on the lots that depend on these disks. That would make for a tough sell if a customer could never get an update for a brand new car. It is time to mount a friendly letter campaign to BMW-NA to encourage them to work things out.

I'm thinking brand new cars don't require these discs
as the Navi resides on the hard drive.... correct? BimmerFile Archive iDrive to have 80GB hard disk

Interesting quote, especially since I never said this
"Originally Posted by Quicksilver Maybe BMW has simply changed their supplier from NavTeq to someone else? So maybe TeleAtlas will become the new map supplier for BMW USA...." Quote:

Just because NavTeq no longer makes the map discs for BMW, doesn't mean that the maps (and future maps) are no longer available
Maybe BMW has simply changed their supplier from NavTeq to someone else? eg TeleAtlas sell BMW map discs for Europe: Online Shop - Tele Atlas So maybe TeleAtlas will become the new map supplier for BMW USA....
