For me, though the price still seems high, I'd probably want to upgrade... there growth in the suburbs around here has been huge. For my dad... well, he's in the SF bay area, and from what I can tell, not much has changed,

Well, I live in Orlando. And like any fast growing city, half the roads seem like they arent on the old map. So the new maps will be very welcome.

04/04 software update, ver. 2/.0

Someone sent me this for helping them out. Thank you.
Don't ask for a copy from me. It's not going to happen.
Major improvement from version 1.0. Instead of two streets in Marlborough, it now has
most, including mine. It even has Dad's on it.
Lot of neat changes like the neg/pos lighting now on the BMW TP.
More info later if I get a chance.

Congrats! I'm still waiting for mine, sent in my originals two weeks ago... I miss the pos/neg illumination from the HK. It's the only thing that was lacking in the BMW TP.

Yeah, I have the new NavTech maps on my Ipaq navigation, and they are dramatically better in orlando than the maps in my TP. Hands down no question.

Anyone want the east coast one?

I can get the upgrade for $185 (Bought this year but not becker direct).

I only need the West Coast disc. Anyone want to split the cost and take the East disc?

More stuff

New software now includes Canada.

When NAV is not in use it diplays the time of day in the ETA area.



When NAV is in use it dispalys the estimated time of arrival in the same area like it did with the old software.

My CD's just came in. They come in an entirely different packaging than the v1.0 CD's, and have a tape seal with v2.0 on the outside.

Just got back from a quick drive using the new software. Interesting features:

1) Time of day shown underneath the compass when not in nav mode
2) Voice commands are expanded. For instance, in nav mode, when merging onto the freeway, the instruction now says "Now turn right onto U.S. 101 North" instead of the previous "Now turn right."
3) Illumination is now switched on the BMW TP like it is on the HK TP
4) There is a function in the radio button that allows you see the full text being sent over the radio
5) POI is greatly expanded, and includes things like train stops (i.e., Caltrain and Amtrak)
6) The nav menu will let you change the time off of the GPS time in both thirty minute increments (like before) but also in one minute increments if you feel that it's off. I can't seem to find a way to get it back to track GPS time if you do. There's no reset button from what I can tell.
7) I've been using TP's for over a year now and the new software feels more responsive when I go off route and also when calculating POI's. Anyone else feel the same way?

Software installation resulted in a radio software update and required a recalibration.

There's a note that you'll lose all of your destination memory and last destinations due to an incompatibility with the new and old software. That turns out to be true.

That's all I could tell during my first drive, and I'm out of town tomorrow. I'd be interested to hear if anyone finds other new features.
