Google Send To Car- Not Working
Hi,
The Google 'send to car' seems to have been broken for a few days . Is anyone else having this issue? I get the following error message when trying to send (Note- sending an address from the BMW app is working ok, but I don't like the interface)- |

Every once in a while, I have the same problem with Google Maps Send To Car. I started using the My BMW Remote App and that seems to work pretty good.

Still not working. I only realised how often I used this now its broken.
BMW app on my phone still works, but the interface is clunky, and doesn't seem to allow you to enter comments that get sent. Come one Google/ BMW get this working |

I stopped paying for the convenience so it doesn't work on my 2013 car.

On 9/23 and 9/24 I sent addresses to the car for a sales trip using Google maps, each send was accompanied by a "successfully sent" message. Today I start on the trip and there are no addresses received. Who's fault BMW's or Google's? Many things about the software interface seem dated but since it all works from a hard drive that can be reprogrammed fixing that shouldn't be a problem. The software seems to be a low priority for BMW.

I was thinking of trying it for a year. Why did you stop it? it looks like it enables Google seach on the Nav....does that mean i'd see google maps? Is there anything in there that's worth the $199/yr?

From Google maps, the message stated successful. However, I did not receive the address in my car.
I called BMW Concierge service, (available 24/7) to transfer address data directly to the Navigation System of your BMW. The operator from Florida said done. Same outcome, no address received. My one year free subscription is expiring for BMW Assist & BMW Concierge. I understand that after expiration reactivation fees apply to reinstate BMW Assist. I will likely not reinstate which means I am much richer for doing nothing and receiving.... |

I also have been using google send to car feature. It worked flawlessly but now even when message shows successfully sent, address is NOT show up. I called BMW assist and was told to try using chrome browser to send the maps. So far that is working for me. So I created a desktop icon of goggle maps for chrome and am trying to remember to use it when I need to send maps to car. So far it's worked

i use these feature, tested it this week, works for me. On occasion i would see a delay of hours for an address i needed to come thru - always seems like it would happen on a weekend - like either Google or BMW was doing some weekend service maintenance... they all eventually came thru. its a great feature btw.

I tried the suggestion of using Google Chrome as it worked
I tried Firefox and that worked ok Tried back on Explorer, and that seems to be fixed as well Looks like I'm back in business with Google Send to Car |
