You should find 3D map option now

I had the 3D map view with the 2003 factory disc following the MMI upgrade.

I advanced 10 years, from 2003 to 2013. Maybe now I can drive from Blandford to Castle Combe without doing a large amount of off road (according to the nav).

It's sad that the 3D option loses the street names.
Is it really that feeble it can't do both?

in 3D it does show the main road numbers, so M3, M25, M27 etc. I dont think the screen size and resolution lend itself to displaying what would be quiet small text on screen.

In my example it just doesn't bother me at all, dont need to see the streets but if you do i think you need to just press the center button and it switches to 2d.
It also depends and what zoom you keep your maps while navigating.

Snapdragon, have you got the newer mmi sw or not yet??
I could send you a 'complementary' 2012 maps and then you can see for yourself.
