Navi question

[330cibimmer]

Is there a way to integrate phone navigation to idrive navigation?
Most of the time it's easier to get directions from my phone than trying to give voice instructions to idrive but then you don't get directions displayed on the cars nav screen. Just wondering. Thanks for any help

By the way, if you use the BMW Remote App to send Nav addresses to your car then it is basically the same effort as using your phone as your Nav...

Your SOS service to BMW NA needs to be activated, then you use the same account to access Googlemaps.

For some reason it won't send navigation to vehicle. I have an iPhone does it matter?

Finally figured it out. Once you send the information to your vehicle it appears on your service message inbox. From there you can start guidance.
Thanks again guys
