Determine Navigation Map Date and Version
Hello,

I was able to obtain a copy of BMW Navigation North America/Canada MAP DVD (unofficial way), the DVD suppose to be for 2009.1 but I am not sure if it is.

Anyone know if there is a file or inside the DVD that will point to date of MAP?

Thanks,
B

So, I just stole what I think is a fameous Michelangelo painting. Can anyone help me authenticate my painting so that I know if I have a real Michelangelo?

I was able to obtain a BMW M5 (unofficial way), the car suppose to be real M5 but I am not sure if it is.

Anyone know if there is a number or inside the engine that will point to type of car?

Given that it is apparently no longer possible to purchase maps from NAVTEQ, perhaps we're being a bit mean to him?

If you put the disc in a PC (be careful, as you never know what sort of nasties people put in files on file-sharing sites), you should find a file named ABSTRACT in the root directory. While this doesn't have the 200x.y version number, it does tell you when the map was built. For example, the 2009.1 says:

Code:
F:\>type ABSTRACT

It is no longer possible to buy a new Michelangelo either, but that does not make the “unofficial way” any more legitimate.

Plus, the Navteq thing is only temporary. BMW dealers will be releasing disk updates very soon.

Apparently the 2009 Maps are available from the dealer.
I know this because I just picked one up a few days ago.....
