Navigation system

Vehicle equipment

All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.

General information

The navigation system can determine the pre‐ cise position of the vehicle, with the aid of sat‐ ellites and vehicle sensors, and can reliably guide you to every entered destination.
Navigation data are stored in the vehicle and can be updated.
Entries in stationary vehicle
Enter data only when the vehicle is sta‐ tionary, and always give priority to the applicable traffic regulations in the event of any contradic‐ tion between traffic and road conditions and the instructions issued by the navigation system. Failure to take to this precaution can place you in violation of the law and put vehicle occupants and other road users in danger.◀

Certain BMW models equipped with navi‐ gation have the capability to display real­time traffic information. If your system has this capability the following additional terms and conditions apply:
An End-User shall no longer have the right to use the Traffic Data in the event that the End-User is in material breach of the terms and conditions contained herein.
A. Total Traffic Network, a division of Clear Channel Broadcasting, Inc. (“Total Traffic Network”) holds the rights to the traffic in‐ cident data and RDS-TMC network through which it is delivered. You may not modify, copy, scan or use any other method to re‐ produce, duplicate, republish, transmit or distribute in any way any portion of traffic in‐ cident data. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless BMW of North America, LLC. (“BMW NA”) and Total Traffic Net‐ work, Inrix, Inc (and their affiliates) against any and all claims, damages, costs or other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out
of (a) your unauthorized use of the traffic in‐ cident data or the RDS-TMC network, (b) your violation of this directive and/or (c) any unauthorized or unlawful activities by you in connection herewith.
B. Total Traffic Network traffic data is infor‐ mational only. User assumes all risk of use. Total Traffic Network, BMW NA, and their suppliers make no representations about content, traffic and road conditions, route usability, or speed.
C. The licensed material is provided to li‐ censee “as is,” and “where is”. Total Traffic Network, including, but not limited to, any and all third party providers of any of the li‐ censed material, expressly disclaims, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all warranties or representations with respect to the li‐ censed material (including, without limita‐ tion, that the licensed material will be error­free, will operate without interruption or that the traffic data will be accurate), express, im‐ plied or statutory, including, without limita‐ tion, the implied warranties of merchanta‐ bility, non-infringement fitness for a particular purpose, or those arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade.

tial damages, so those particular limitations may not apply to you.
The traffic bulletins are indicated on the map
by symbols.
The traffic bulletins for the surrounding area
are stored in a list.
The symbol in the function bar of the map view turns yellow, if there are traffic bulletins that affect the calculated route, and the pre‐ dicted delay is less than 20 minutes. The symbol turns red if the predicted delay is more than 20 minutes or if there is a road block or a hazard warning for the route.
The symbol indicates that there are suit‐ able diversions in keeping with the traffic bulletins.
Traffic information via ConnectedDrive
In some countries, realtime traffic information, RTTI is transmitted by ConnectedDrive.
With a valid ConnectedDrive contract, the traffic information by ConnectedDrive is displayed in‐ stead of the traffic information from the radio stations.
In countries in which traffic bulletins are not transmitted by ConnectedDrive, the traffic bul‐ letins of the radio stations are still displayed.
With the traffic bulletins from ConnectedDrive, the precise location of traffic obstructions can be pinpointed. In addition, for example, routes with clear roads within a radius of approx. around the current position are precisely displayed.

The symbol of the first traffic obstruction,
including the distance at which the traffic obstruction first occurs, if applicable.
