Thank you. A comprehensive review of the unit.

That's interesting. I have found the info is limited on this new Navigator but the one thing Sven said that really stood out was the GPX imports won't work. Great review and the best I have seen so far....Cheers

Thanks a lot, glad to hear it was useful !

Very informative. Exactly the same issues and conclusion I have experienced. It has been driving me mad. Hope your message will reach BMW Motorrad very soon. Thank you Sven.

Thanks, I have sent mail to them regarding tracks and the problems with route import. The support mail is connectedride@bmw.com

Thank you for the review. I created a route in Tyre but found I needed to load it into the app, then Export as Waypoints to get the unit to load it. Lack of the ability to set a home, or rename favourites is very annoying too.

@thetubelesschannel 7 месяцев назад

Agree that's annoying....it's premature yet.

@anonym3017 3 месяца назад

it eats .gpx files just fine.

@TonVerkleijT3 7 месяцев назад

Zumo maps are way better, you can use specific profiles, exit information is displayed on a Zumo or Navigator 6 and you can disable route recalculation. I have no need for bike data on my Navigator,I use the the TFT for this.

@thetubelesschannel 7 месяцев назад

Yes bike data is also available in the TFT

@paulv22 8 месяцев назад

Great review. Thanks. It's interesting that it doesn't support importing a GPX file as a route, because the Connected Ride app on the iPhone does. I'd have thought they were using the same code base.

@thetubelesschannel 8 месяцев назад

It does the import but if you for example made the route in basecamp it will not start in the Navigator but it will in the app. Yes strange.

@MickBla 8 месяцев назад

@thetubelesschannel 8 месяцев назад

No it does not (yet?) 😧

Hi Sven, I have been following your videos about the BMW Navigator VI vs. BMW ConnectedRide GPS. I have had a few issues with my Navigator VI and I am in the process of replacing it with a new one. My doubt is which one... I thought the ConnectedRide would be a good option but just learned from you that this might not be the case. I heard yesterday from a BMW dealer that a totally new model (similar to Garmin XT) is about to be released next month of February 2024 and I have been adviced to wait for it before making a decision. Have you also heard about this new model? Thank you Pedro

@thetubelesschannel 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for your feedback which was very interesting, I have not heard that until now.

@gatisspetersonss 5 месяцев назад

Hi, thanks for the review! Does this unit ( and zumo XT) show traffic jams and speed cameras?

@thetubelesschannel 5 месяцев назад

The Navigator does not show speed cameras, the XT does !

@gatisspetersonss 5 месяцев назад

Ok, thaks for the answer. How much you ask for your unit? If price is right, I would be willing to try it out and hope bmw will fix soon with new soft updates.

@lubebosch 7 месяцев назад

Hallo Sven, the version 1.0.1 has been released. I upgraded the navigator, but I'm not able to spot the differences. Not yet tried on the bike. Any idea from your side? thanks a lot Luigi

@thetubelesschannel 7 месяцев назад

Look at my comment about the upgrade in my community tab here on my channel.

@mattiasforslund7739 2 месяца назад

Do you know if they fixed the issue with battery drain when you leave the navigator on the bike over night? So it powers off in a good way?

@thetubelesschannel 2 месяца назад

Sorry I dont know because I sold mine. But the Garmin Zumo XT2 is same...you will have to turn it completely off to be sure it is possible to use it next morning without a long wait for charging. Stupid behaviour of these GPSes. I prefer a long boot time before a very long charge time :-) Listen BMW and Garmin !

@rso1411 6 месяцев назад

I spent a lot of money to buy this Connected Ride Navigator and already hate it. I can't read the streets on the map, can't select a "Home" location and loading .gpx routes seems to be a problem. I just ordered the 3DAM adapter and am going back to my Zumo XT.

@thetubelesschannel 6 месяцев назад

I did the same, went back to Garmin

@lucianmbv 6 месяцев назад

That’s funny. The manual is in Romanian😅😅😅. I have a question, do you know if the voice assistant is supported? (Siri/ok google?). I know the tft does not support it so i decided to use a second phone just for navigation and use my primary phone for music and calls (and keep siri). Would be a big plus to be able to use voice assistant with this navigator. Thanx :)

@thetubelesschannel 6 месяцев назад

No voice assistant there !

@lucianmbv 6 месяцев назад

Well that’s a bummer. I’ll stick with the two phone, packtalk evo and cradle setup. Seems like bmw refuses to evolve regarding connections… pitty…😢

@ericcalmels3439 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for your videos on this GPS, I come to the same conclusions as you. In this last video, you seem to have a user manual, could you provide the link to obtain it please

In short, can this be used without cellular to navigate? Or does it have to be permanently connected to the mobile network?

@thetubelesschannel 4 месяца назад

Yes without cellular, it is a stand alone unit with downloadable maps.

How can I upload the speed radars for new BMW Navigator?

@thetubelesschannel 3 месяца назад

Hi, BMW should be able to answer that. They really do need to get all that questions about a product that is useless for many. When it comes to speed radars I didnt test. But I did not see any functionality for that.

So sad an expensive unit like that has simple faults that anyone who actually uses a GPS will find. Simpler (cheaper) to buy a cheap smart phone and use google's downloadable maps.
