These Sat Nav firmware upgrade discs , what do they actually do ??
Mine is an '05 Facelift , what benefits will I get from buying the 2010 update ??
Is it worth the hassle (and cost) ??

Re: Sat Nav upgrade
Firmware upgrade - what version are you on? You should have the birdseye feature already I think.
V32 is the latest.

Re: Sat Nav upgrade
The firmware upgrades are usually bug fixes, but a couple of them have had useful add-ons such as 'Perspective View' around Version 28 I think. If memory serves correctly V31 or V32 added the dual layer read capability which is required for the DVDs for issue 2010-1 I think. The database exceeded the 4.7GB limits of single layer DVDs and BMW found a way of enabling dual layer capability.
Other than that they are mainly system patches.

Re: Sat Nav upgrade
It just adds a different view 'perspective', or birds-eye as you refer to it.

Re: Sat Nav upgrade
the other cool feature is that it also auto zooms in and out depending on speed.
as you approach a roundabout and slow down for instance it would zoom in showing all the exits clearly, whereas on a motorway it would be well zoomed out, showing a large area.
