3 I also went to the 'New Query' section in 'Info Services' and it uses the inbuilt sim-card (I know because my phone was not in the car at the time) and dials up the BMW info+ hotline. You then just speak to someone and they can send you any business address you want to the sat nav system.

This last feature would be very useful if you could not be bothered to go into the information services section of the navigation. Would also be a lot safer if you are driving at the time.




May as well make use of it since we are paying for it anyway
How did you send addresses from google maps?
