Blue & Me: Map - Fiat's integrated SatNav

[fstfrwrd]

i took the option for the B&M Map preparation in my 500 ... does anyone have one already?

or anybody got any english documentation?

[bexx]

Was it availabe when I got/ordered my car in Jan-April? Have never seen it, I think i recollect hearing something about this somewhere hto. x

I did not think this was being released for the UK market! I had it on order for mine, but was told that Fiat were not doing it in the UK, even after launch

I have a built in sat nav in my current car (2.2 diesel civic) and while it is good the discs for updating it are £90 a pop. I did consider ordering the blue and me sat nav but having saw it I am glad I stuck to my original plan of getting a navman or tomtom one for it.

just buy a Tom Tom One XL Europe with traffic alerts from Halfords that you can use in other cars too

That was/is my plan, just waiting for the car to arrive 1st.
Just checked again and the update discs for the civic I have are actually £200 now!!!

the power wire was driving me crazy with the tomtom i had.
how long will it last without the power connection? (just off the battery)


another important question ... with the blue&me map, will you also need to insert a USB stick into the system?
if so, can it be the same USB stick you use to store your music on?

They weren't...

...but now they are!

At the moment it is only available as a dealer-fit accessory, but once production restarts at the end of the month it will be available as a factory option.

So the factory does close for the whole of August then?
That would explain why my one is/has been stuck at status 16 for the last 3 weeks.

(Edit just saw your other post Scrogg)

I have the preparation but don't have the navi yet
Here you can find more pictures about the Blue&Me MAP:

I have the documentations (.PDF) in German and in Italian. If you don't understand these languages at least you can find many pictures about the functions!
