My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

[darrell]

Watching this thread, because today my NavVI started going into "map browse" mode (what it does when you tap it to move around). Basically, without touching the unit or going into NAV mode on the TFT, it went into that browse mode. It was also twitchy--like it'd gotten ahold of some bad crank. Too, Sunday it wouldn't refresh to follow me for about 20 miles...and then it just, did.

Maybe just removing & reinstalling maps might be the ticket?

Since Garmin walked me through the process of verifying the software and then uninstalling the maps before reinstalling I have used it 7000 miles in temps from 107 to 28 degrees with no problems. I suggest you call Garmin to determine if you have a serial number in the batch that had issues and they are replacing or if you have a unit from the new batch of units at which time they will likely walk you through a process to see if it can be corrected. Have some free time when you call as it will take some time from start to finish if they want to replace the maps.
