Daarnaast zal Nav III een snellere processor, een TFT display met een hoge resolutie (454 x 240 pixels) en een sterkere satellietontvanger krijgen. De afleesbaarheid van het scherm zou duidelijk beter zijn bij invallend zonlicht dan dat van z’n voorganger.
De Navigator III gaat ook van de NT versie van City Navigator 8 gebruik maken. Gelukkig luisteren ze bij Garmin ook naar hun klanten: de tracklog is nu vergroot van voorheen 2000 punten voor de Nav II naar 10000 voor Nav III.
De nieuwe Navigator zal net als z’n voorganger een kompasroos en de dealerwaypoints hebben.

Although the revised version of the BMW Motorrad Navigators II plus, available as from April 2006, appears to have changed only insignificantly, it will indeed offer additional features. Thanks to high-end technology, the Navigator III offers even more convenience of operation and the possibility of communicating whilst riding a motorbike. A fast processor, a high-definition TFT monitor, a satellite receiver with excellent reception and a built-in Bluetooth interface raise the BMW Motorrad Navigator III to the very latest level of state-of-the-art technology.
A highly efficient satellite receiver, which will obtain data reliably even in areas offering only a very restricted reception (street canyons, wooded areas etc.), ensures most accurate positioning. A remarkably fast processor speeds up route preparation and the now three-dimensional map representation. With 454x240 pixels, the TFT (Thin Film Transistor) monitor now offers an even clearer picture quality with better contrast and can be easily read even in strong sunlight.
Storage of map data for the whole of Europe is integrated into the system, pre-installed and ready for use after initial activation. There is additional storage space of around 500 MB. The enhanced map data corresponds to version 8 of the latest MapSource City Navigator Europe NT. The system now comes with respective software on DVD, facilitating simple route preparation on the PC.
The user interface, the design of which has deliberately been kept simple, supports simple navigation through the menu functions. Four new buttons of the Advanced Mount Cradle have been added to the touchscreen still supplied, thereby offering convenience of operation whilst on the road: A unique highlight in the field of portable navigation is the Text-to-Speech function. These voice commands render the navigation system even safer and easier to use.
The Bluetooth interface featured in this system for the first time poses the significant advantage of wireless communication and safe navigation. With the communication system integrated into the BMW System Helmet, the WCS-1, all voice commands given by the navigator can be transmitted wirelessly to the rider's helmet. The intercom link between two WCS-1 helmets remains connected even after the navigation command has ended. The operation of a Bluetooth-compatible cellphone via the BMW Motorrad Navigator III is still possible. Incoming and outgoing calls are shown on the monitor display. Respective telephone numbers can be dialled via the touchscreen.
And it doesn't end there. The tracklog function has been increased from 2,000 to 10,000 points and can also be configured. If required, the distance covered is recorded according to an adjustable time or distance parameter.
Like its predecessor, the new system will, of course, also feature a compass function and a pre-installed address book listing BMW Motorrad dealers.
The revised version will be presented to the public for the first time at the 2006 trade fair in Dortmund, sporting the imprint "BMW Motorrad Navigator III" on its petrol-resistant, splash-proof housing.
