I really like my BMW map for going places I’m not familiar with. I find I miss less exits and and love how it helps to make sure you’re in the correct lane for your travel.

BMW map should be number 1 with Waze on the background for alerts!!

[donwilber]

Waze has saved my butt many times. I'm gonna disagree with you on Google being the best for accuracy, as I've had quite a few errors and been taken off main roads onto farm trails a couple times. Love the BMW maps, I just wish it had the alerts that Waze has.

BMW maps is really good in foreign countries, such as merging into a 5 lane highway and getting all the way across the other side to exit onto another highway with less than two minutes to accomplish this

[defiorem]

Great video, I would really like to see a video about your preferred driving setup with all of the screens, climate, comfort, and the Waze automation.
Keep up the great videos!

[farzadghorbani]

can you show how to setup your iphone to have waze show up automatically?

[armengevorkian]

Great video, thank you. I used BMW maps (they are in partnership with TomTom) for many years, and find them the best for navigation, Plus they work in long tunnels - it knows the speed you travel shows the exact position without GPS signal. . Most don't know but the gear box of BMWs uses maps to help selecting right gears too. They don't scream and shout about all the great and advance stuff as many others, just get the s*** done.

Google map shows on my instrument cluster just like BMW map.
Biggest con is that any map other than BMW is not adaptive to your drive. I have BMW X5 XDrive 50e and I have to use BMW map in the car so I get adaptive drive for e.g. it changes to electric when in the city and gas when on the highway to get best mileage.
If I switch to Google map, it will use entire electricity first and then switch completely on gas. Its awful

I was a diehard Google Maps in my previous non-BMW vehicles but now absolutely love the BMW nav. I travel out of my home area frequently and it’s been stellar. I keep music on the main screen and rely on the HUD for directions. I’d say I’ve only had to pull out Google Maps once or twice.

[Dactylonian]

What about ABRP? :)

We like our i4 in-car route planner. I like how Apple Maps shows charging locations but overall reliability is awful. Google Maps loves routing me on back roads. Waze is good for all-around awareness of traffic and alerts so I like the social aspect of it.

Hope you’re enjoying your new car!

I like the BMW app because of the integration with my X5. However when I get to the destination I can't trust the last turn to the destination. More often than not it tells me to turn in the wrong direction. Another issue is it's not up to date. It couldn't find a street I was trying to get to in Pensacola on a road trip last Spring. I used Goggle maps to get there.

I have APPLE Maps #1 in major cities! Google Maps #2 WAZE #3 BMW #4

I surprisingly like BMW maps. The ability to plan my route on the BMW app and then send to the car is very good

[uspnightfire]

Hopefully BMW will update their software so Google Maps can run on the gauge cluster. I have a 2022 Volvo XC60 Recharge for my commuter car and both Apple Maps and Google Maps show up on the gauge cluster area. It actually took an update from Volvo for the Apple Maps to show up there while the Google Maps showed up there for over a year now

[curriegardner]

I have to disagree with your rating of BMW Maps…
Yes it is not always as accurate as Google Maps, (I use Google Maps if I am having location issues with BMW Maps, but only then)
BMW Maps is definitely my number 1, as I particularly love the Heads-Up display. I do not find it distracting while driving. The detail map only pops up just before you need to make a turn and is very accurate and helpful, especially when you are approaching a complicated intersection, with multiple roads converging. As it is right in front of me I can easily navigate through busy traffic or odd intersections without taking my eyes off the road.
For me, BMW Maps is number 1, but not perfect…

[jesuis]

Noob question.... i have an i4 m50 2023 for 2 weeks now and i'm learning the in's and out's as fast as i can but i don't know what you did to see your arrow on your left on your BMW map with the final flag nor your cam viewing on the dashbooard. Love the Heads up display and use BMW map but it looks like i can make it better.😉

[dd-ddco]

Really depends on the country too. Where I'm from I find that Waze works best.

[carbide]

BMW does have alerts but only fixed cameras in the UK. You have to pay £25.00 per year.

[davesax]

Apple maps shows in the heads up display. When programs take you on detours its due to heavy traffic.Programs cannot anticipate changes or extra delays due to traffic light cycles. Clarify running Waze in the background for alerts thru carplay and other programs on top.
