BMW NAVIGATOR IV FOR MOTORCYCLISTS NOW AVAILABLE If unfamiliar territory has held you back from venturing into the unknown, look no further than BMW’s brand new Navigator IV. With its preinstalled maps of 40 countries in Western and Eastern Europe and over 1.5 million points of interest, this latest satellite navigation system, designed with motorcycle riders in mind, will keep you on track, even in the most remote of places. Faster route calculation, 3D building representations, extra large touch screen buttons, a lane assistant and junction views are only some of the perks BMW’s latest satnav has to offer. In contrast to its predecessor, it carries a multiple-route preview, speed limits are shown for most of the main roads and vehicle specific routes can be selected. Unique to this new model, is the 4.3” touch screen which is easily legible, even in bright sunlight. Four additional control buttons also line the left side of the mounting cradle, allowing the rider to use it comfortably when wearing gloves. Other properties of the Navigator IV include two data fields in which personal information such as arrival time, remaining travel time, average speed, direction and current height above sea level can all be monitored. Even though map data is pre-installed and supplied with the system, routes can easily be planned on a computer and uploaded. Routes travelled are automatically recorded and can be reviewed in programmes such as ‘Map Source’ or ‘Google Earth’. The Navigator IV is compatible with the new BMW motorcycle communication system which will be available for the System 5 and the all new System 6. All street names are therefore audible allowing the rider to focus his or her attention on the road. It supports more than 200 mobile phones with Bluetooth and enables the motorcyclist to accept incoming calls and place outgoing calls directly via the satnav. State-of-the-art stereo Bluetooth technology is also used for in-helmet music playback. Dave Alexander, Parts and Accessories Manager of BMW Motorrad said: “Given thatour customers tend to be adventurous riders who travel considerable distances, we take pride in delivering a top of the range navigation system.
