Navigation system.

The BMW Professional navigation system is extremely easy to operate and guides you quickly and directly to your destination. It also offers information about places of interest and can help you find a nearby hotel.

Your current location is established automatically by the navigator with the help of the Global Positioning System (GPS), down to an accuracy of 10 metres. Using this information, the system calculates the best route to your destination, and guides you step by step to your goal. Instructions are given visually as easy-to-follow arrows, and/or as clear verbal instructions over the sound system.
A digital map of the area can also be viewed, offering a high-resolution zoom function for even better orientation (from 1000 km down to 100 m). The anti-dazzle 16:9 monitor also offers a split-screen function that allows two functions to be displayed concurrently - for example information from the navigation system and from the on-board computer.
The navigation system is controlled using a menu button and a turn-and-push dial or, depending on the model of your BMW, via the iDrive Controller. Often-used addresses can be saved directly on a favourites button for instant retrieval. When the voice control system is installed, you can control the navigation functions by spoken commands, e.g. destination address.
When calculating the best route, the navigation system refers to current traffic information and avoids potential hindrances. In addition, BMW Assist can provide specific information on sights worth seeing, theatres or museums plus available hotels nearby.
