Look at this earlier message in this forum.

When you start your vehicle in a rural area (with a route magnet set on), the navigation system gives you audible insructions, but it does not show instructions visually. When you start your vehicle off-road (and the route magnet is set on), the navigation system gives you both the audible and visual instructions. However, when you the go on to any "digitized" road and then come back to "not digitized", the system does not give you instructions anymore.

I think that the reason is either a bug or it relates to some settings. I do not know how to fix it, but I would be very keen to know.




I'm willing to bet you probably never had an O/S older than V17, however.

With each NAV system I've had, it always functions fine until I update to newer than 17.2

Sure, the interfaces are pretty in the newer O/S, but at the loss of function.

I'll be able to post a DEFINITIVE answer on Saturday, as I will be obtaining another V17 disc (my last one got corrupted)

If I drop to V17 and all is well, then I've found an O/S issue no one else has either noticed, or cared to complain to BMWNA about.

Keep watch on this post.....
