BMW Navigator V Compared to the Navigator IV
Navigator Comparison – Trip Planning Shaping Points: A point inserted into a “Trip” that causes the Navigator to take you through a specific point on the map without having the unit alert the user of that point – basically it shapes the trip on the roads you want to take or the points you want to pass by.
Blue Dots in the images above are shaping points.
Navigator Comparison – Trip Planning So what is a “Trip”? How does it compare to a “Route”?
In the Navigator IV You could plan a route that consisted of up to 250 points points off road. Long g routes often had to be broken up p into on road or 1200 p multiple shorter routes to cover the same distance. In the Navigator V a new technology was used which is called a “Trip.” A Trip consists of up to 30 Routes Routes. Each route can have one via point and 125 shaping points. When the unit calculates a trip it is actually calculating each segment called a “route” as the Navigator IV knew them. This allows the unit To calculate and recalculate faster, give the rider better routing during the use of the Navigator – and allow the user to skip segments of the trip if needed. The largest benefit of the “trip” technology is the ability to create long more detailed motorcycle rides than could be done in the Navigator IV IV.

Exit Services Exit Services allows you to search for POI’s along the interstate or major highway along your ride. It only looks at POI’s within a short ride from the actual highway exit so that you can save time side tracking off the interstate interstate. With the search feature you can check exits further up the highway you are on or along the highways the unit is routing you. This feature can be set as a map button for quick access.
New Bluetooth Menu
On the Navigator V we have worked to make an easier to use Bluetooth menu. You can now pair to your phone or have your phone pair to the Navigator. If you only want to have you phone paired for Smartphone link but not phone calls you can now select that as well.
