Destination guidance
142
Address book 
To make it even easier to enter destina-
tions, the system lets you store addresses 
for frequent destinations.
You have the possibility to store the 
addresses in two separate address books:
>The address book of the navigation sys-
tem
>The address book of the voice com-
mand system.
Navigation system address book
Storing addresses
In this address book, you can store 
approx. 50 addresses.
Addresses can be entered from different 
menus.
The system stores the current address in 
the address book with "AS ADDRESS".
You can also enter your current posi-
tion in the address book after leaving 
the sector covered by the navigation CD/
DVD. In this case, you must enter a name.<
Selecting an address

A list of the stored addresses appears on 
the right side of the Control Display.

2.Select "ROUTE GUID." and confirm. 
You can also edit existing entries in the 
address book; for conditions refer to 
"ABC...".

home address as destination and desti-
nation guidance is started

Deleting addresses
To delete individual entries:
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}

What to do if É
>you request the current position of your 
vehicle, but do not receive a precise 
display?
The system is unable to receive enough 
GPS signals at your current position 
owing to obstructions, your position is 
not yet available on your navigation CD/
DVD, or the system is in the process of 
calculating your position. 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 destination guidance refuses to 
import an address from the destination 
directory as its destination?
The address is not stored on the navi-
gation CD/DVD currently in use. 
Choose an address as close as possi-
ble to the original one, using the desti-
nation entry map as required 
>the destination guidance does not 
apply an address without the street?
No specified center is defined for the 
selected locality on your navigation CD/
DVD. Enter any street, or a destination 
such as the railway station, etc., then 
start the destination guidance 
>you want to enter an address for the 
destination guidance, but it is not pos-
sible to select the letters for your 
desired entry?
The address is not stored on the navi-
gation CD/DVD 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 
navigation CD/DVD. Instead of the turn-
off arrow, an arrow appears that follows 
the course of the planned route,
or
you have left the proposed route and 
the system requires a few seconds to 
calculate a new route proposal 
>during destination guidance the desti-
nation route map is automatically dis-
played?
You are driving in an area that has not 
yet been recorded on the navigation 
CD/DVD. The destination guidance 
cannot operate under these conditions. 
However, you will see the current posi-
tion 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.

casters can interrupt the routine weather 
broadcasts and substitute special warning 
messages. If you have a question concern-
ing NOAA Weather Radio, please contact 
your nearest National Weather Service

Malfunctions
The CD player is a Class  1 laser prod-
uct. Never remove the cover from the 
housing. Do not operate the unit if the 
cover is damaged. Operation without the 
cover can lead to serious eye injury from 
invisible laser beams.
Always refer all repair and maintenance 
operations to qualified technicians.
With self-recorded CDs, labels applied 
later can become detached during play-
back due to the development of heat, caus-
ing irreparable damage to the device.<
To prevent CDs from being copied 
illegally, they are often provided with 
copy protection by the manufacturer. 
Under certain circumstances this can pre-
vent or restrict the playing of CDs on your 
CD player. In this case please contact the 
CD dealer or manufacturer.<
If you play self-recorded audio CDs, faults, 
e.g. drop-outs, can occur, or the CD is not 
played at all.
High levels of humidity inside the 
player can condense on the laser's 
scan lens and prevent it from reading the 
CD.<
