How to get European maps on Professional navigation?

jabroni80 · 06-03-2015, 07:53 AM

Hi all

Just picked up a 520d F11 M sport and I absolutely love it. Decent specification levels and is fitted with professional navigation. The only issue I have is I cannot input non uk addresses. Could anyone advise what I require and if I can update my navigation to add European maps without the need for a trip to the dealers?
Car itself is beautiful to drive and a big improvement from my previous C class. Look forward to using the forum again as I did previously with a 3 series I used to own.

Ps I should have explained we're taking the car to France next month on holiday.

Thanks in advance

Sorry if you have already tried this but have you selected France (or other non UK European country) as the destination country prior to to inputting the address? You should already have European Maps

Dope! Dont know whether to just reply and say Ive tried that but I'll be honest....

Just went out to the car and it turns out I was trying to go to Paris in GREAT BRITIAN��

Thanks for the prompt reply��

One other question can you avoid toll roads in the settings?

Yes - one of the icons on the LHS of the map allows Route Criteria to be set/changed. One of these criteria is "avoid toll charges"
