And the good news is... I went for a trip at the weekend and my weather widgets and RTTI were all present and correct - although the uselessness of the BMW "Professional" sat nav continues to amaze me. It really is counter-intuitive and clunky. We were trying to ge to a reasonably local park and once in the car tried and failed numerous times to search for the location on the sat nav. In the end I gave my wife my phone and she directed me courtesy of google maps.
Yes, I know I shouldve fired up the pc at home and then sent the info to the car. THAT is a good feature (but seemingly impossible from an ipad). I also couldve used the feature in the car that lets you ring someone up who send the directions to the car - but that doesnt change the fact that it should just plain be EASIER to use the sat nav in the car. C'mon BMW.

...or is it just me? :blink:

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end

Google Maps 'Send to Car' from the iPad was locked out by Apple a couple of years back....possibly a spat about Android?

You can however do it via the BMW Remote App.  It uses the same log in as your Connected Account.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
