Location
Display of current location
1.Select "Location" and confirm.
You can request the current location of
your BMW or view a display showing your
map location. If the navigation system is
unable to identify a town or city, your cur-
rent map coordinates will appear.
If the navigation system recognizes the
city, but not the street and intersection, you
can enter these manually, refer to "ABC..."
for operating instructions. The entry is
adopted as the current location with
"ACCEPT".
"AS ADDRESS" can be used to import your
current location into the address book; you
can also enter a name as desired. Entry of a
name is mandatory for locations identified
only by their map coordinates.
Entering the location
We recommend that you avoid entering
subsequent corrections of your position
unless absolutely necessary. After trans-
port by truck or rail, etc., the GPS receiver
may require several minutes to determine
your current location. You can reduce the
amount of time the system requires to
determine your location by entering it man-
ually.
To enter your current location:
1.Select "Location" and confirm
2.Enter the address of the current loca-
tion in the same way as for destination
input, refer to page 132.Once effective GPS reception has
been established, it will no longer be
possible to revise your position manually.<
Wordmatch principle
The system relies on a wordmatch principle
to make it easier for you to enter the names
of towns or streets. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destina-
tion entries with the data stored on the map
CD as the basis for instant response. The
user benefits include:
>When you make an entry that consists
of more than one word, the system can
identify the name regardless of the
sequence in which you enter the indi-
vidual words.
Example:
Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square
Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F.
or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
>Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions provided
that the spelling of the entry corre-
sponds to a standard form used in
another country
>When you are entering the names of
cities and streets the system will com-
plete them automatically as soon as
enough letters are available to ensure
unambiguous identification.
Example:
If you want to drive to Iowa Ave NW in
Washington, the system has already identi-
fied the street name when "o" is entered
and displayed it in the lower half of the
Control Display.
>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on
the map CD. The system will not accept
non-existent names and addresses.

What to do if É
What to do if É
>you request the current location of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise
display?
The system is unable to receive enough
GPS signals at your current location
owing to obstructions, your location is
not yet available on your CD, or the
system is in the process of calculating
your location. Please wait and then try
again later on
>the GPS logo disappears from the Con-
trol Display screen?
Reception is interrupted; a building or
similar obstruction may be the cause
>the guidance system refuses to import
an address from the destination direc-
tory as its destination?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. Choose an
address as close as possible to the
original one, using the destination entry
map as required
>the guidance system does not adopt an
address without the street?
No specified center is defined for the
selected locality on your CD. Enter any
street, or a destination such as the
railway station, etc., then start the guid-
ance system
>you want to enter an address for the
guidance system, but it is not possible
to select the letters for your desired
entry?
The address is in the list, but not on the
map CD currently in use. In this case,
the system will not offer you any letters
to choose from. Choose an address as
close as possible to the original one,
using the destination entry map as
required
>the system stops furnishing directions
on which way to turn as you approach
intersections?
You are driving in an area that has not
yet been completely recorded on the
map CD. Instead of an arrow indicating a turn, you will see an arrow which indi-
cates the general direction of your
planned route;
or
you have left the recommended route
and the system requires a few seconds
to calculate a new recommended route
>while the destination route map has
automatically been adopted for dis-
play?
You are driving in an area that has not
yet been recorded on the map CD. The
guidance system cannot operate under
these conditions. However, you will see
the current position of your BMW in the
map display to help you orient yourself
>the battery has been disconnected?
It will take approx. 15 minutes for the
system to resume operation.
