Nav 6 vs. Nav 7

My local dealer has advised me that they are now selling the Nav 7…I haven’t compared the 2 yet…anyone else done the comparison?

Nav 7? There is no such thing. There is the ConnectedRide Navigator which is replacing the Nav 6 but it is not a Garmin device. It is made by Cyrus, runs android and uses Tom Tom mapping and maps.

Looks like it's just an update to the Nav 6 (VI). So no Nav 7? Am I reading that right?

I think my local dealer is calling it the 7..BMW is still calling it the 6 - with newer firmware, or software, or something..

It seems to be the 7th version of the Nav VI.

A new "fixed" version is apparently days away from shipping. Not sure if they are calling it something else or not. The link above would appear to be for the current black background version that has been out for a year and a half or more. I called Garmin earlier this week about one the black background units ghosting every bit as a number of other Nav6's that they have swapped for similar issues. Rather than initiating the normal RMA swap process, they took down my details and passed the details to another department who are apparently tasked with sending out the new "fixed" units. I've not heard anything from them yet. Much more encouraging words than Garmin support has made than previously.
