Nav 5 problems resolved
I recently posted about problems I was having with my Nav 5 being stuck on the calibration screen. One gentleman replied that he was able to resolve issues on his GPS with a new memory card. I tried it and it worked! I upgraded my memory card from a 64G to a 128G memory card. I then did a... -

Nav 5 problems
Mt Nav 5 started acting funny in the last couple of days. When I would start the bike, the GPS wouldn't turn on for a couple of minutes. When I got home this morning, I tried updating the software. I also did a soft boot, a hard boot, and tried removing the battery. Now the GPS is on the... -

Where can I get a replacement battery for my Nav V ?
Doh! I left out the word BATTERY in my title. I need a replacement battery. I've been to Amazon and there are too many batteries to list - and none with the same spec as what's in my Nav V right now. $110 to buy one from BMW seems a little excessive. Thanks In advance! Edit: Thanks Kurt. You... -

NAV VI Discontinued
I went on the Garmin web page and found out they have discontinued the BMW Nav VI. I contacted Garmin Customer Service and they didn't have information on a replacement unit. I'm not going to spend $950 at the BMW dealer on a new NAV VI that is discontinued. Anyone have information from the... -

Nav V stuck in Year 2000
I tacked this on to a previous thread on the Navigator V and I think that was not the best approach for getting input from the GPS wizards our there. So, here is a repeat. After the most recent update, I noticed that my Nav V thinks the date is March 23, 2000 and I cannot find a way to change... -

Anyone know the definitive way to charge Nav V's battery while off the bike?
I found this thread: https://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?73027-Charging-problems-with-BMW-Navigator-V&p=939168&viewfull=1#post939168 This is so full of contradictory information it's nearly worthless.

NAV 5 -- Showing Map with no destination
Hi, Kinda old school but I still like using a map. I really like the GPS to show me the upcoming cross roads and the terrain. Very hesitant to put in a "destination" because I can never get rid of it. The GPS has to be off for quite a while (overnight) before I can get a fresh "view map"...- dwilsonttc

How can I change Start/End point on Nav V route?
All, I've been able to download some really nice looking routes from the intertubes but am wondering how I can change the Start/End point on the route to better match my expected travels? The routes each have a start/end specified but they don't necessarily correspond to where I would be... -
Nav V Tire Pressure Units
Hi All, I just recently purchased a 2014 R1200gs Adventure and have put the Nav V from my F800gs Adventure on it. Everything works but I can't seem to figure out how to change the tire pressure units. On the bike display it shows PSI but in the Nav V it shows Bar. I've looked all over the... -
Nav V
Hi! Have others experienced the Nav V taking all day to update? It is 3pm Eastern and it has been updating since 9am. It is 50 percent finished at this point so I am just letting it go. It has been one year since I last updated it so maybe that is a factor. My internet speed is not an issue on...- roamingbeemer

Convince me to buy a Nav V / Nav VI vs another GPS
I have a 2016 RT and on my lengthy farkle list is a GPS for the bike. I have obviously been looking at the plug-n-play BMW Nav V (and now the new Nav VI) with it being integrated to the bike (dash mount, wonder wheel functionality) but it feels like a lot of money to me. If I explored another...- zenwhipper

Use the Navigator V My Motorcycle App on non-GS?
Hello MOA Forum members. I'm new the the community, but have a few years of BMW motorcycle riding under my belt. Last year I traded my 09 F800ST for a new 15' RT. I purchased the Nav V at that time and a chief selling aspect was what I thought would be the ability to view realtime bike data and... -
Nav V - am I missing something
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place but I couldn't find a topic devoted to the Nav V. After a bit on consternation I decided to purchase the Nav V for my 2016 R1200RTW which was Nav-ready. After taking it out for a test-spin today I can say that I am really disappointed in the... -
