There are a number of challenges to this. The main one is different underlying mapping data. BMW uses Teleatlas (owned by TomTom), Google use a verity of sources. In the USA it is their own, Europe a mixture including Europa Technologies, Teleatlas and maybe others.
If directions from Google Maps included a road that was not in the BMW teleatlas system then the route couldn't be replicated. Thats not to say it couldn't just default to working it out itself like it does now based on the destination. I also dont know there is any agreement between providers on how to define a route. Agree would be a nice feature, but is harder to do. |

I just sent one to my car and it seemed to work okay without me hitting the 'update'. We'll see how it goes.

A workaround sometimes is to split the route into 2 or more end points and force the BMW route algorithm (I didn't know it was Teleatlas) to go a certain way. Takes longer to setup and won't always work as expected but works for simple diversions.

Ok, it started working fine now..even though they didn't do anything. I called them to tell them it's working and to cancel the move to the 'higher ups'.

Yeah, mine continues to work too. Although it doesn't instill much confidence when it takes them months and then mysteriously starts working. I still hope they fire the imbicile in charge of ConnectedDrive.

I hear he's also in charge of the music collection that plays album songs in the wrong order and the navigation arrows that don't go away
