Garmin and BMW are celebrating a successful 5-year partnership with the launch of the BMW Portable Navigation System Pro and BMW Portable Navigation System Plus.
The Portable Navigation Plus comes with or without preloaded mapping so it’ll eventually be sold worldwide. Right now the Plus models are available in Europe and North America and are compatible with separately purchased SD cards so you can load maps specific to your region of use. Features include a 4.3-inch high-res touchscreen, Bluetooth, MP3 playback, a BMW vehicle icon to represent your position, a BMW dealer database, park position recall, and local search. In North America it also has Garmin’s FM traffic receiver with FM real-time traffic and fits BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series and BMW X3 models.
The Portable Navigation Pro has all of the features of the Plus, but has MSN Direct’s real-time traffic reports, gas prices, weather conditions, movie times, and more. It also has voice recognition technology and preloaded maps of 33 European countries.
