GPS

22n
Only enter data when the car is
standing still, and always obey the
traffic regulations and road signs in the
event of any contradiction between the
traffic situation and the instructions gi-
ven by the navigation system. Failure to
do so may result in an infringement of
traffic laws and put the car's occupants
and other road users at risk.<
Do not place any metal objects,
e.g. umbrellas, on the rear win-
dow shelf (saloon model), as GPS re-
ception may be disturbed in view of the
location of the GPS aerial, and the navi-
gation system may fail to operate pre-
cisely.<
The navigation system renders it un-
necessary to read maps during a jour-
ney. It therefore constitutes a signifi-
cant contribution towards improved
road safety.
GPS stands for Global Positioning Sys-
tem.
This is part of the navigation system,
and uses satellite signals to determine
your car's position.
As a result, the navigation system is
able to guide you efficiently and reliably
to any map destination you select.

Map CD

Map CDs are inserted in the navigation
computer on the rear left in the luggage
compartment.
To be quite certain that your car's navi-
gation system has the latest road net-
work information at its disposal, always
load it with the most recent CD version
of the digitised road map. Map CDs,
like conventional road maps, are peri-
odically updated on the basis of obser-
vations and survey data.
Map CDs can be purchased from
BMW Service; see the list of Ser-
vice outlets.<
Map CDs: changing
Map CDs contain road map covering
one or more countries or regions.
If your navigation system indicates that
you are about to leave the area covered
by the map on the CD currently in-
serted, you should change the map CD
in the navigation system.
To change the map CD:
1.
The CD is ejected from the naviga-
tion computer (press the button sev-
eral times if necessary)
2. Remove the CD
3. Insert a new CD
4. Wait for approx. eight seconds until
the contents of the new CD have
been read in.
