Send addresses from google to your X5's nav...
 

Not sure when this began, but you can now send an address from Google maps to your nav. It's wild.

My question is, where does the address appear in the car? In the address book, on the navigation prior destination list, or..I read in some BMW literature that there is a sub menu in idrive for this perhaps by the service info.

Anyway. I sent an address to our new X5 and it registered as sent on the computer, but I can't find it in the car.

Has anyone done this? Where in idrive does the address appear?

Thanks,
DRP

My Info!

Under communication, not in the nav menu, where it would make sense. MyInfo is the title of the place you want to be.

How do you send the address from Goodle maps to your Nav?

You go to Google Maps and type in the address/business that you are looking for. Once the map comes up, click on the pin that represents your destination. A little window will pop up with a few options in it. Click on "send," then click on "car," then select "bmw" and then enter your BMW Assist account name. I believe you will have to first set up your account through BMW Assist. :thumbup:

Too bad this service is only available for 2009 models. :dunno:

Thanks! :thumbup:

I was told to use the email address that you registered with BMW assist as the send to address.

Is that def correct ?????:dunno:

I have a 2007 E70 with BMW Assist and it works ok for me ????


:D

Whats the process for setting up BMW Assist?
