Navigator 5 vs Navigator 6

[hobbit]

Good evening

I have been borrowing a Navigator 5 off a mate who now needs it back, so I have bought a Navigator 6.

Dose anybody know the difference between the 2, as far as I can tell the only difference is the writing on the side saying BMW Navigator VI and not V.

Cheers

Navigator 6 has a slightly larger "blingier" screen, it has a built in function to select a random return ride for a specified time. The main difference is the Nav 6 allows music to be streamed from a smart phone and has larger internal memory for maps.

They both feature a microSD card slot, the Nav 5 however needs the SD card to have maps installed to as the internal memory isn't enough as the maps have grown in features. Both can play MP3's from the SD card too.

I have a Nav 5, and given two provisos, a) I can get a staff discount and b) I'm ex IT so love gadgets ….. I've never felt the need to upgrade as my Nav 5 does everything I need it to do.

I regularly recommend customers buy a used Nav 5 from eBay now that plenty are being upgraded, if they need a Nav and pennies are tight

They both feature lifetime map upgrades

Will have to look at that random ride function. Never tried streaming music, but the large memory will be handy.
