nav v

I recently tried to update my NAV 5 GPS. I got the message that it was connected to Garmin express but that a memory card was needed. I have a memory card in the GPS but it was not recognized. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. By the way, the GPS is 11 years old.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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. I have had it plugged into a PC w/ Garmin Express running in the background and it...

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"...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hello, I am a '16 RT owner in Virginia. I am going to rent a R1200RT in late April in UK and ride through France and Spain for a couple of weeks. I have a Navigator 5 on my R1200RT here in Virginia, and would like to take the device with me for my European ride. I have to pay an extra daily...

New version available today is 2018.10

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...

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...

In a different thread, I promised to do an experiment regarding: * creating routes in Basecamp, using a profile such as (Motorcycling, Fastest Time) and a second route using a profile such as (Motorcycling, Curvy Roads). This is a report of my findings. Creating the routes in Basecamp was more...

I added a sony 16GB microcard to my Nav V - Best Buy assured m it would work - and it made the screen go funny, it kept shutting down, and Garmin Express wouldn't recognise the device. Fortunately all was well when I removed the card. Anyone have better luck?

I am about to trade in my R1200GS for a 2014 R1200RTW demo , probably dozens of things I need to figure out most immediate, what is the best preferred method for mounting GPS? I am considering this Hornig mount...

This is aimed at owners of the NAV unit who by now have either regrets or happiness over their purchase. Love to hear your opinions and recommendations.
