Featured Bmw Nav 6

Hopefully BMW has worked out the bugs on their NAV system, Dougie, and this one will work fine for you. That was a good idea to take a video of it so you could show the dealers what was happening in real time. Sounds like they stepped up and made it right each time.

 

That's something anyone may expect from a "premium" brand. Just hope the NAV 7 will last longer.

 

My Nav6 is giving me grief just now. I bought it second hand so no warranty. It’s doing what the hell it wants, screen freezing, screen changing on its own without being touched. It’s a common problem when you look at the relevant forums. At first I thought it was down to greasy fingerprints on the screen and a good clean made it better for a while but it’s now got to the stage where it’s unusable and I’ve got some serious touring planned this year so I’m going to need some form of navigation cos I can’t read maps in a tank bag anymore. From what I’ve read Garmin are likely to offer me a “refurbished” one at over £140 with a 90 day warranty. Some who have taken this up have had no problems, some have had two or three goes at rectifying the issue (not at £140 a time in all cases). Seems the Nav6 is a bit of a disaster and I can only hope your 7 is fault free.
I’m going to connect to the PC and make sure the software is right up to date, though it’s not long since I did that, then try Garmin support and see what they say. At over £600 new it’s not living up to what I’d expect of a premium product.

 

It's like the age old joke which I'm sure you can guess.

Point it towards Poland and it'll work a treat.
