This guide tells you how to export route files from MyRoute app to your BMW Auto navigation system.
Please note! At this moment, BMW has stopped supporting BMW navigation for cars. Therefore it is no longer possible to transfer routes to your navigation system. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about this within MyRoute app. For some BMW car navigation systems, importing still works, but this differs per navigation system.
We therefore advise you to contact your dealer and we will continue to look for a solution.
Our apologies for the inconvenience
We would like to give you the following tips in advance:
- Always create routes that you are going to use on your BMW Auto navigation system on the HERE map in the MRA route planner;
- For more information on exporting in general, see General information about 'export' and 'save as';
- For more information on installing and exporting with the MyRoute app connector, see our other manuals;
- For more information on creating, using and adding POIs, see our Manual POI's.
