Hi I'm hoping someone can help me here, I'm looking to get a new 2010 535xi (mainly a 2010 because of the new NAV) and I was wondering if someone with the new Nav on a 3-serrirs can tell me can you send Google GPS coordinates through Google MyInfo to the car. I like to hike trails and sometimes all I have is a GPS location for the trail start. There is no way to enter this directly from the car so I would have to use Google to send it ahead of time. But I'm not sure how the car will treat an email with only a GPS coordinate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is a sample to use http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=Latitude 37°10'31.75"N
i don't have my car yet, but I just sent it gps coordinates. seemed to go ok through google's end. will let you know once i get the car (sorry, still 11 days away . . . .) kash
And when they got to the car I assume it had no issue routing to the GPS cords. Also since this is rather confusing MyInfo is free on 09+ for the first 4 years correct?

My Info is part of BMW Assist. I believe it is standard on the 5 series. It is a stand alone option on the 3 series and also part of the Premium Package. BMW Assist includes the first 4 years of service.

Yes I checked that it had a route. Though I picked a spot on a road. Dunno what it would do if you had something in the middle of a forest.
I think the BMWAssist/MyInfo is free for 4 years, might be just one, not sure. Comes with Premium package. I use MyInfo messages from Google a lot. Will probably renew it if I still have the car at expiration.
yups.. u can send it using the email address. I use it a lot.
