To delete all current entries:
Current position
Display of current position
1.Select "Location" and confirm.
You can request the current position of
your BMW or view a display showing your map position. 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 instructions. The entry is applied as the
current position with "ACCEPT".
"AS ADDRESS" can be used to import your
current position 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.
"DELETE" deletes the entry from the
address book.
Entering the current position
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 position. You can reduce the
amount of time the system requires to
determine your position by entering it man-
ually.
To enter your current position:
1.Select "Location" and confirm
2.The procedure for entering your current
position is the same as that used to
enter your destination, refer to
page 132.
Once effective GPS reception has
been established, it will no longer be
possible to revise your position manually.< 1.{Navigation}
