Is it worth it?

Is it worth getting the Garmin nav system from MINI or to just go to like Best Buy or where ever. Now I do have a nice little 20% off everything I buy at MINI.

THe one from the dealer is nice since it is already loaded but not the best deal out there. You can get the same unit for far less and just add the icons and vehicle files. The bracket is less than $200 if I remember right.

The files for the NUVI's can be had here. http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/F...cty=US&lang=en

Check out gpsstore.com

Just got a Nuvi 360, with bluetooth, for less than $300 from these guys ... very pleased ... of course, there are dangling wires, et al ... but the functionality is great

I just got a nuv 760. I appreciate the link to those files, which I downloaded, but can you tell me what to do with them?
