Sorry for the basic questions, but I'm pretty new at this. I'm currently at v23. Can I upgrade straight to v26? If I can, will it include any updates for the versions in between?

I just burned the disc with Alcohol 120, but the only option I had to change it to was 48x from maximum. I have a Sony DVD burner to do both DVD's and CD's. Do you think that will be a problem? Thanks.

There have been some questions regarding the highway icons now showing up in crappy boxes, rather than the actual highway icons. Someone posted a picture with the updated software here, which actually shows the real highway icons:

However, every other picture of the upgraded software I've seen shows these boxy, crappy looking, highway signs. (See HWY 18). Is there a setting that controls this feature, or could it be that this differs between BMW models?

If anyone still needs to download the 137MB .rar file, I have posted it to a much faster server. PM me if you need the link.

I'm guessing it depends which navtech map you have. I have a 2002 map of the us and canada and i have the crappy boxes, i am currently downloading the new map i'll let you guys know if it works and where to get it!

Nice. Thanks for doing that.

I'm pretty sure that some folks with v25 had the actual highway icons and upon a subsequent upgrade to v26 their icons turned to boxes. I'm holding off on upgrading until I can verify that the good icons will stay. :thumbup:

The HWY 18 is a Canadian highway. All of my U.S. highways show the actual highway icons. The island that I live on is right inbetween the U.S. mainland and Canada, so I frequently have both displayed on my screen.

aaah this is good news. Thanks for clearing that up. Looks like I'll be running the updated soon. :thumbup:

Great update! I used a Mac to burn the CD with Roxio Toast and the subsequent update went very smoothly. Thanks UCrewX5!

Just before I start the update: can I use the update for a "German" X5, with MKIV? Can I choose German/Franch/UK English languages to be instaled? Thanks!
