CarPlay + Google Maps Turn By Turn Directions?
Hey all –
I recently picked up a 2018 F80 and started my new ownership with about a 500mi road trip. I used carplay and google maps for my directions / routing. I noticed however that none of the turn-by-turn direction cues would display or announce through the HUD or dash. I'm new to the forum and new to this car, and i'm curious if there's a specific setting I need to activate? Or is it possible that turn-by-turn is only enabled if you use the factory iDrive6 navigation software? Thanks in advance! |

Turn by turn on HUD is only available for the onboard navigation software. Airplay directions are only on the main display. With this car I don't really even need to use Google Maps coz the onboard navigation is actually pretty damned good. Traffic avoidance is similar to Google Maps but not as good as Waze. That's a given coz Waze is geared towards hardcore shave 1 second off is good kinda trip.
