Similar to the delay you get if you try to use the nav straight away after the car has been locked and switched off for a while I assume
I'll have to try some experiments tonight to see if that is consistent with what I'm experiencing. In theory that make sense. It still makes the app less useful for real world application, but this is much better than not having it at all.

Done the usual delete/reload/reinstall my settings, but no joy.

Annoying!
Same here, DJ.

As said earlier, check if you can send Google map location to your car from a PC.

No problem. Works from both the App and from Google maps on a PC. What were your thoughts?

If BMW Assist is properly set, sending location from Google Maps will work.

Next, if Remote App does not work, its a setting problem on Remote App.

Thanks. Still a bit of a mystery, then. I'll try resetting everything when I've got some time.

Later: Re-activated remote services on the Connected drive site and re-tried. Now working!

Nothing. It works on all 2011 or later X3s.
