Saw this on a link on the K1200Lt thread. Seems BMW have got a stick on bit to allow the Navigator II to be used with gloves on. Apologises if this as been seen before couldn't find it after searching.

Since March 2002 BMW offers the road navigation equipment "BMW motorcycle navigator" to motorcycle. Now comes the successor, who BMW motorcycle navigator II, who was developed again in co-operation with the American specialist min. On the Bologna Motorshow the navigation equipment was presented for the first time at the price by 1980 euro. Starting from the spring 2004 the BMW motorcycle navigator II is among other things available for the models K 1200 GT, R 1200 CL and R 1150 blanks with all BMWS motorcycle dealers.

A more efficient processor (RISK) and a USB connection (universal Serial bus) make a faster and simplified data communication possible of the PC on the navigation equipment. In addition the BMW motorcycle navigator II has clearly more storage capacity. Instead of 128 MT it offers now 512 MT and can digital map data for for example to Germany and further countries completely take up. The BMW motorcycle navigator II has additionally to well-known capability characteristics of the predecessor a Touchscreen, which facilitates the operation of the equipment. 14 menu languages stand here to the selection. Over the anti- Reflection screen one touches the desired symbol lightly, for example "meal and drinking". Here even a choice is after categories, possible for example "Italian". Or one selects the desired function, like "map attitude" and arrives fast at the goal. As extended operating sector functions the "Advanced Mount Cradle", which was developed particularly for motorradfahrer. On this sit at the left side four operating knobs for "IN", "OUT", "ENTER" and "ESC", which can be well operated also with gloves. A connection type for the loudspeakers of the helmet set, which transfer navigation over acoustic references into nine languages, supplements the possibilities of this mounting plate. With the BMW motorcycle navigator is fuel steady and splash-proof like already the housing. The antenna was integrated with the BMW motorcycle navigator II into the equipment. The navigation equipment is also supplied with to rough data for the region Europe or the USA as well as a code for de-energising the data with the most current version of the min map SOURCE software fine -und. On the BMW motorcycle homepage www.bmw motorrad.com/navigator one - starting from availability of the new equipment - can download updates of the navigation software, transfer interesting distances and waypoints to the BMW motorcycle navigator II and experience further technical details to the equipment
 
Here's an attempt at translating what Babelfish threw up.....

Since March 2002, BMW have offered the BMW Motorcycle Navigator as a navigation aid to the motorcyclist. Now its successor has arrived - the BMW Motorcycle Navigator II, which has also been developed in co-operation with the US firm Garmin. At the Bologna Motor Show, the equipment was unveiled for the first time, priced at €1980. It will be available from Spring 2004 for the following models: K1200GT. R1200CL and all models of the R1150, from all BMW dealers.

A faster processor (RISK) and USB connection allows faster and easier communication between the unit and a PC. The Navigator II also has more storage capacity. The Navigator could accept 128Mb, whereas the Navigator II can accept 512Mb – allowing the storage of, for example, the entire map of Germany as well as some surrounding countries. As well as the well known facilities of its predecessor, the Navigator II also has a touchscreen, which facilitates its use. There is a menu in 14 languages. Touch the required symbol lightly on the anti-reflective screen, for example ‘Food & Drink’ and you are shown a further choice, so you may choose to select ‘Italian’. When one selects ‘Map Attitude’ the equipment rapidly responds. The Advanced Mount Cradle was developed especially for motorcycle use of the Navigator II. It is positioned to the left of the unit and features four buttons, marked ‘IN’, ‘OUT’, ‘ENTER’ and ‘ESC’ which are easily operated with a gloved hand. An audio connection is provided to allow turn by turn audible navigation advice to be given to the rider, in any one of nine languages. The Navigator II and the Advanced Mount Cradle are fuel and splash proof. Unlike the Navigator, the Navigator II has its antenna located internally. It is supplied with a base map for Europe or the USA as well as the unlock codes to access the most current version of MapSource data. On the BMW motorcycle homepage www.bmw_motorrad.com/navigator are details of the availability of the new equipment, information on how to download updates of navigation software, as well as further technical details of the equipment.

That looks like a Garmin 2610............
if so it is $1166 usd.

The German site quotes Euro 1980.00 for the 'basic' NavigatorII, which equates to around £1395.00 in real money....

I can't see anywhere on the Garmin site that offers the extra buttons as an accessory for the 2610.......?
 
....i saw it at the Bologne show .... the bit with the buttons is part of the GPS holder.

...it was on a 1200LT...


Was hoping top see the new 1200GS ... but no go.... saw the new 650 Dakar though
 
Tempted
