BMW GPS navigation with Google Search: "
Back in March we had talked about BMW navigation systems working with Google Maps. It looks like the system is ready to go and available to consumers already. Only in Deutschland though.
BMW is the only automobile manufacturer to offer the Google local search in the car - available now. For the first time, you can use this search function to look for local information everywhere in Germany with the world’s most famous online search engine. When you find what you want, the details are transferred to the navigation system and car phone at the touch of a button. The system identifies the location and destination of the vehicle automatically and displays the results in the vicinity with details of address, phone number and distance.
Apparently this is called ConnectedDrive and is different than the ’send-to-car’ function we talked about before but they are all building blocks of all individual online, assistance and service systems in the car.
We hope they get good feedback in Germany so they would consider bringing this to the U.S. Yet another reason to buy BMW…
