- - Nav V26.09A (Beta with Perspective View) (https://xoutpost.com/electronics/navigation-system/11458-nav-v26-09a-beta-perspective-view.html)

I just loaded it on my UK Rover 75 Nice not to have the BMW welcome screen anymore at least the version number is a bit more non descript!

After the upgrade mine came up in German

I tried it at 2.5miles and there is a a town in the distance that is off the screen with the top down view

I like the clouds!

You are right, Martin... I just downloaded the beta, tested it with the Sirius, ice>Link, and the Bluetooth and everything works fine. The Telephone option was slow to appear in the menu but it came after some 30 seconds.

The bird's eye view is a great Nav improvement although as stated before the side streets are missing, but I do not think that this view is intended primarily for urban areas anyway. This is a very useful option in the Interstate, where you can see far away in front and sides -for example- the next service station or the exits without changing the scale. In fact, when I selected for the first time this view the Nav showed the closest Mall pretty nicely a couple of miles from where I am parked, something that I could not see before with the Map view at the same scale.

I only hope that this beta is stable in the long run. Thanks X5World! :thumbup:

Did anyone else notice the extra, greyed out option? Hrmmm :confused:

its a european option for the traffic information system. not available/supported in the US

In Europe this is TMC (Traffic Message Channel) and broadcasted on top of the radio-signal. With TMC the nav-system is told about traffic-jams and/or closed roads et on the planned route. You are prompted and can decide to be rerouted. Very NICE feature!

Oh, great. I´lll update on this afternoon :)

Yep Sirius is fine ... should have mentioned that before :-)

Can someone confirm for me that in the telephone sub-menu, if you press emergency option it no longer changes to the "emergency screen" like this -

Is this just a symptom of the Nav in Euro mode now? Thanks.

I guess that it can still be changed back to the USA mode just by going to the dealer without affecting this new feature, right? :confused:

what do you think about exchanging the complete boot file 'navboot' to the one from V26.0 ? did anybody try this?
i assume it will not have effekt to the new features, but i am not shure.
