GLONASS
http://www.gpsworld.com/gnss-system/...15-years-12379
So since today in the morning GLONASS is globally operational. Request to BMW: Create a plug-in module (for free of course!  ) so that we can use GLONASS for the navi in our X3.Shouldn't be awfully hard, as e.g. the iPhone 4S already is GLONASS capable. |

 I don't know if you want this on your X3 the way things are going with US and Russia these days. Could be a cruise missile up your X3's butt if you had it installed.  |

I think in Northern Europe and Canada and Alaska the increased number of satellites could increase precision. Also there might be situations where Navstar is jammed or artificially distorted, and then GLONASS might still work. |
