I tried using Google Maps to produce a waypoint GPS build but it builds too many waypoints- how to thin it down to the essentials??
When I have some 'spare' time I might look into this again. I was hoping to build an excel macro to alter the xml with custom input.... time is not my friend at the moment 
Example from XML...
</Address>
<GeoPosition>
<Latitude>51.52278731</Latitude>
<Longitude>-0.74266847</Longitude> |
You don't need to fiddle the XML as you can save your own custom route with multiple waypoints from the website link above and then there are two options for transferring to the car: BMW online and USB data transfer. Have tried BMW online and can see my saved routes in the car, can also import them (via ConnectedDrive - Apps - Route Import) but then can't see how they are accessible from Nav menu? The pdf below shows "Saved journeys" but I never see this option under my Navigation menu
