Good Morning I am a new member and a new owner of a full loaded GL320 CDI Black on macadamia. This is our new family car replacing a Land Rover LR3 HSE. ( what a piece of _ _ _ _) So needless to say the GL is a great replacement.
There is one issue that is killing me: The Navigation is awful! The graphics,POIs etc. The Land Rover nav was much better. I drive a 2003 BMW m5 as my daily driver. I was able to update the firmware (from a BMW forum site) making the graphics much better, the roads much smoother the nav logic better and faster.
members have also written software to modify the voices, poi icons and splash screens. Here is the link for reference of what I am talking about
:
Navtweak
NavTweak - X5world
Nav Firmware updates
BMW Navigation Operating System - X5world
It seems to me that the graphics issue is not a resolution issue (road lines look like large dpi pixels) with the screen because the backup camera gives a TV like picture.
I know I just bought a 2007 with "updated" firmware. Is it possible to upgrade to the new S-class software? I have heard it is better.
Maybe Apple corp. will give us the chance to update when they finish their development for MB nav.
Thanks for your help.
Adam
