Starting the navigation system
GPS
Enter data only when the vehicle is
stationary, and always obey the traffic
regulations and road signs in the event of
any contradiction between traffic and road
conditions and the instructions issued by
the navigation system. If you do not
observe this precaution, you may be in vio-
lation of the law, and can endanger vehicle
occupants and other road users.

GPS stands for Global Positioning System.
This integral component within your vehi-
cle's navigation system relies on reference
satellites to determine the precise position
of your vehicle.
By allowing you to find your destination
without having to consult conventional
road maps as you drive, the navigation sys-
tem makes an important contribution to
traffic safety.
The result: the navigation system provides
you with dependable guidance to your des-
tination.
Navigation CD/DVD
Navigation CDs/DVDs are inserted in the
navigation computer located behind the left
side trim in the luggage compartment.
You can use navigation CDs as of 2001-1
and navigation DVDs in your navigation
computer.
To ensure that your vehicle's navigation
system has access to the latest highway
network information, always load the most
recent CD/DVD version of the digital road
map.
As is the case with conventional road
maps, the navigation CDs/DVDs are sub-
ject to periodic updates to ensure that they
reflect the latest information and surveys.
Navigation CDs/DVDs are available at
your BMW center.

Changing navigation CDs/DVDs
As you drive your BMW, the computer will
alert you when you are leaving the area
stored on your current navigation CD/DVD;
you should respond by changing the navi-
gation CD/DVD in the navigation computer.
Navigation CDs contain road maps cover-
ing one or more countries or regions.
Roadmaps of Europe are stored on the
navigation DVD.
