Wow, Heli I can't believe they've gone backwards in V14. Quite disappointing given we had to wait this long for it.

I suspect it won't work though for those of us with the 'carindb' file structure on our map disc? (eg Australia)..... I'm sorely missing my TomTom's ease of accessing POI on the crappy BMW hardware.

Australian DVD Maps

I have a 2003 Z4 so I suspect my Aussie maps are pretty outdated...anyone know where I can download more recent maps? I saw links to US Maps on this forum but nothing for Aussies.

Thanks.
