Is it possible to "save" a Nav destination?

hinckley · 12-31-2017, 05:38 AM

In all my previous iDrive equipped BMWs, there was a option to "save" a Nav destination. It essentially provided a favorites list of destinations. But my current M4 (a July build) no longer seems to have this feature. I can access a list of recent destinations, but they're in chronological order and cannot be named as the saved destinations could.

Below is a screen-shot of my nav destination options. Am I missing something, or has BMW done away with the saved/favorites list?

I believe you press the option button on the address and you can "store it". Will check tomorrow for you

when you reach the destination you want. while you are on the map screen, press the iDrive controller know once and the option to save the location pops up in a context menu. after you press save, you can give it a name.

you can even associate that location with a contact if you wish

Highlight "start guidance" and press hotkey.

I just use the bmw connected app but good to know you can save on idrive. Recent Destinations saves a lot of trips as well for quick access

Got it. I was looking for a list within the Navigation sub-menu for "Saved Destinations". It's something that all my prior iDrive systems back to 2004 had.

You can save list as well as add addresses to contacts. I use recent destinations and hotkeys for frequent trips.
