Greetings all, We were at a MINI dealer yesterday and I looked through the accessories catalog. I saw a GPS unit that looked like a Garmin nuvi but it had the MINI name in the lower left hand corner of the screen. One other thing that I thought was cool is the fact the car on the navigation screen was a MINI Cooper.

Does anyone know how you can get this MCS as the car in the navigation screen? I already have a nuvi and I didn't want to spend another $650 just to get the MCS on the map. I've download a few extra vehicles already for my nuvi but they did not have the MCS.

Does anyone have one of the MINI GPS units? If so could I get the MINI icon from you or if anyone knows where I can download it then it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

 

It's a re-branded Nuvi. If you can't find a pointer to the vehicle file here, try http://www.poi-factory.com -- that's one of the best places to go for GPS related stuff. They have a wide selection of vehicle files for the Garmin (I go for the yellow submarine, myself).

Here's the discussion with a good set of references:

this is perfect. thank you very much.

 

Hey, I didn't even know you could customize a Nuvi. I just downloaded all the Mini stuff from this sight, and even got the Mini logo for my splash screen.

Awesome!!!

Thanks for the tip.
