Connected app new functionality?

Maybe I never noticed this before, but now you can copy and andress to your clip board and when you open your connected drive the address is in your recents ready to be sent to vehicle. This is on Android.

Maybe I missed it because before I'd have to go into activity or destination and add it. This way it's much more convenient if you are copying an address from faceboom, Google map, inside a message. I just got a Note 8 and it handles copy/paste a little different so that could be a variable. Just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this.

Good find, I didn't notice it. They should let sharing from maps into the app, but at least it's a workaround.

I've noticed that with an iOS phone if you have an event in your calendar with a location, it shows up in your destinations that you can then send to the car.

Speaking of the Connected app - how often do your cars update the fuel level and range data? My 2016 updates fairly infrequently and is pretty random eg it last updated on 12/3 but there's nothing special about what I did with the car on that date. I was in a newer loaner with iDrive 6 and noticed that it updates after every Bluetooth connection is established between the car and my phone which I wish was the case with my F80
