My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[darrell]

Well 3 days ago my 2nd Nav VI acted up doing its own thing by moving around to various screens. Did this for 60 miles while I rode home. Called Garmin for help. They verified the GPS I had was from the new batch that should have resolved this. I assumed they would just send me another new one but they spent time with me going over everything on my GPS to see if they could determine why it maybe failed. First we checked all the software after reloading the last version of Garmin Express on my MacBook Pro. Then they decided to remove all my maps and have me reload new maps. After mentioning I also had a Nav V with no issues they had me remove the Nav VI connection from the computer and attach the Nav V. We checked this software and then loaded new maps on this unit. Then back to the Nav VI and reloaded all the maps. I’ve rode 500 miles in the past 3 days and the Nav VI has worked perfectly. If I understood the tech correctly the updates for software and maps we do only add to the current files on the GPS computer and by re-installing the maps it clears everything and reloads new maps in a logical pattern. I know noting about electronics on this stuff but I do know I reboot my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro monthly at the suggestion of Apple technicians. I do have a specific number to call if it gives me trouble again as they will replace if it does. I have checked my Nav V on the bike and it works so I’ll carry that as a spare when traveling at least for the time being.
