The eight favourite buttons on the centre console, in turn, allow the user to save
and directly select not only radio stations, telephone numbers and navigation
destinations, but also further menu items available via iDrive.
Yet another unique feature of BMW iDrive is the multi-mode control of functions
by voice entry and the Controller. The user is indeed even able to change
from one of these two entry modes to the other without the slightest problem
even while handling a specific task or operation, with voice entry as well as the
Controller remaining active at the same time for simultaneous use.
Navigation system Professional with hard disc memory.
The benefits of BMW iDrive also pay off in using the optional navigation system,
with the presentation of maps in high-resolution graphics and with route
guidance arrows available on both the navigation system Business and the
navigation system Professional. Full-screen map presentation by navigation
system Professional also offers a detailed overview of the region the driver
is currently going through, with maps as well as individual symbols presented in
three-dimensional graphics. Indeed, even an elevation map is available for extra
convenience.
Selected sights en route are highlighted by way of realistic graphics like a photo,
while a preview map makes it even easier for the user to choose his destination.
As an alternative to full-screen presentation, the Control Display may also
provide an assistance window offering either further presentations, informa-
tion from the on-board computer, or data on the entertainment programmes
available.
A special map perspective under the item “Highlight Traffic Conditions” offers
a visual overview of the latest traffic jams and congestion reports.
The High Guiding function complete with integrated driving lane recommenda-
tions transmits detailed perspectives such as bending rules at an unclear road
junction from the screen directly to the instrument cluster and, where fitted as
an option, to the Head-Up Display.
The Travel Planer with its Guided Tours function ensures utmost convenience
in planning tours by combining individual destinations to put together the user’s
personal tour. On request the system will then select the most attractive route
and include the stopovers chosen by the driver in the overall route.
