Trouble adding Home Address to NAV
I've been trying for the past 2 days, man this is like rocket science.
So I stopped the car in front of the building gate and then tapped the iDrive controller button, it gave me a few options and the last one was "Save Position" so technically, that should save my exact GPS location. but no, when I click Save position, then select Home Contact, the address that appears in that home contact is not my actual position, but a small supermarket behind me that's like 50 feet away. So then, I drove my car inside the building premise right in front of the parking lots then clicked the iDrive controller, then chose Save Position assuming it would save my current location, yet, it saves a position from a nearby neighborhood! Arggh!! why BMW!?! Why must such a simple task be so difficult. I'm used to my old Garmin GPS where when I click on the position i'm in the map and save it, that exact position is what gets saved If I try to enter the building name manually, it doesn't show it but shows me some states in the USA and whatnot even though I am in Dubai and have the Dubai Maps so that is not an option either. Please help Last edited by Super Spartan; 11-20-2016 at 02:29 PM.. |

What is one wants to save X point on the map and save it to a contact? I guess it would do the same thing by not actually picking up his navigation coordinates but rather, just randomly pick the nearest landmark |

Since me saving my current position and adding it as a contact was resulting in the navigation system stupidly picking up the nearest landmark which was far off from my actual home address, what I did was, I located my building name easily through the points of interest, then I pressed the OPTION button in the iDrive controller, then I chose Save Position,k then I added it to my Home Address and hit save. I also deleted the old address that was also stored in my home contact previously and now I'm all set! |
