Goggle CUSTOM Maps - Send to Car?
Has anyone tried to create a Customized map in Goggle Map and get the Customized map to their BMW?
I can use the Send to Car feature on my Mac (won't work from an IOS device), but I simply get the destination, then the BMW NAVI takes over and does its own thing. That is my customized route (which is better than the poor route BMW Navi comes up) is NOT sent to the car, just the address. Has anyone figured out if this is even possible? Thanks |

BMW Nav is capable of setting multiple destinations for ones entire trip but you can't add / edit preloaded maps. You can send an address to Nav but if it doesn't exist on Nav , it can't take you to the actual point.

why not send multiple 'way points' using google maps selecting specific locations along your custom map?

You cannot use Google Maps to send a Route to your X3, only a Destination.
The Google Maps Destinations that are sent to your X3 may be added to your X3's Address Book. Multiple Address Book entries may be strung together so that you have waypoints between your starting and final destinations, but the Nav system will choose the route. It sucks, but that's the way it is. Last edited by 02420X3; 05-21-2012 at 08:17 AM.. |

Correct, you can only send a destination, not a route from google maps. Before someone asks, here is where the option is hidden in google maps. Enter and find the location you wish to sent. Click the little chain like icon to the right of the printer icon, click the blue send button, select car to the right and then select BMW and enter the BMW assist name that they set up for you at delivery. Bingo

The real convenience is when you are out somewhere like shopping and you decide you want to go somewhere to eat afterwards. You can google a good restaurant, send it to the car and everything is ready to go when you return to the car. Also with the app it is a search so I don't have to know the exact address. |
