Has Anyone Heard Anything About Navigator VI?

That Nav 6 doesn't seem to fit its cradle very well - as though it's not quite rectangular.

The fit looks similar to my Nav V.

I really doubt the interface platform will change from NAV V to VI when it becomes a reality, there are way too many reasons not to.

Looks like that's the case. This is a quotation from the NavVI BMW Motorrad page:"Navigation preparation ex works for the K 1600 GT, K 1600 GTL, K 1600 GTL Exclusive, R 1200 GS (from 2013), R 1200 GS Adventure (from 2014), R 1200 RT (from 2014), R 1200 R (from 2015), R 1200 RS (from 2015), S 1000 XR, more models to follow"
 
Also it appears that the 2017 and onward models of the K 1600 GT, K 1600 GTL, K 1600 GTL Exclusive and R 1200 RT will now be able to display the "MyMotorcycle" data, which previously was only available while mounted to a GS. Nothing new there for vs the Nav-V, but it is an added feature that these 2017 and newer models will be joining the GS in making that data available to the GPS.

Also stated:" The MyMotorcycle status page is only available when the unit is not in the vehicle; it displays the information last received by the vehicle in tabular form. It also shows service information, such as range, fuel reserve activated, tyre pressure front/rear, mileage, vehicle ID number, service date, service road stretch, active warning message(s)." (emphasis mine)

The same limitation applies to the "Last Ride" data.

So you have to remove the unit from the mount to see the info? That sounds too stupid to be true. If they were afraid users would be reviewing this data while riding, they could have simply required that the bike not be moving. You'd think a GPS could figure that out...

This is currently available when using the NAV V on my 2016 R1200RS. It's probably available on the R1200R LC.

On my RS "My Motorcycle Information" is available when the unit is in the cradle and I use this screen a lot when I don't need the Navigation screen.
I can have 16 different values displayed on one screen.

" My Motorcycle Status" and "My Motorcycle Last Ride" is only available when when out of the cradle or maybe when the bike is off. I don't look at this info often and there's no reason to view it while riding.

"Last Ride" has info like number of gear shifts, Avg. throttle position, how many times you used the brakes, ect.

Good to know Lee.

It appears to be that the ability to transmit this data is via the LIN Bus system. It is possible that BMW has been expanding their LIN Bus connectivity/usage with each new model they release. Certainly haven't been very good at getting the word out as to what they're doing, but, what's new. ;-)

"My Motorcycle status" has things like current miles on the bike and when the next service is due.

"My Motorcycle" appears as one of the Apps. When you open you see it's a folder with three apps (discussed above) in it.
