How did you get the refresh? I’m on #3 and have asked about the upgraded unit, but Garmin told me they couldn’t send me the newest one, only swap for the same unit?

There is a very long and active thread about the Nav VI "ghosting" issue over at advrider.com.

Actually, there are several related threads, but they are all similar.
Some owners are on their fifth or sixth replacement. New or old version, the problem seems to keep coming back.

I didn’t know that Garmin had problems with some of their GPS models. Thought that it was just my model and me. I don’t have a Nav VI but a Garmin 595. The fourth replacement unit they sent me last summer seemed to finally work although due to COVID I didn’t really get much riding with it. Some of the Garmin reps were quite helpful while others certainly were not.

Is Refresh the same as Refurbished?
Found my answer.

The Italian adapters mentioned in another thread here look interesting, especially the one that mounts a Garmin ZumoXT into the Nav Prep mount on my GS. If my replacement Nav VI craps out I’d be interested in switching to the Zumo even if it means losing use of the wonder wheel for the gps…

I’ll ask you, How did you get the refresh? I’m on #3 and have asked about the upgraded unit, but Garmin told me they couldn’t send me the newest one, only swap for the same unit? I’ve had 3 units on 5.8 and they all do the same thing eventually. A buddy of mine had several units also and they sent him the new Version 10.0. He didn’t even know it until he turned it on. …so just wondering if you requested it or they just sent it?

Check Replacement Email if Listed as Refurbished or Refresh
If not call them with the serial number and ask them.
Your replacement confirmation email should list if the unit you just received is a Refurbished or Refreshed unit.
If not call them with the serial number and ask them.
Newest / best (affordable) unit for 2014 R1200RT with Nav Prep?
Hi all! Just got the ride. Guessing it had the BMW GPS as there was no cover on it. Sadly, no GPS either.
Looking to add a non-BMW branded unit.
Anyone know what the latest make(s) and model(s) are directly compatible and what issues/benefits I can look forward to?
Thanks!

Currently, the Nav VI, Nav V should also be fine, and there's now also the BMW ConnectedRide cradle that interfaces the WonderWheel with your phone, and provides wireless charging.
