Send an Address To The Car
78
Now Implemented!
Description
Allow sending an navigation address to the car remotely via the web.
Competitive/Pricing/Notes
Through Google maps I can send to my BMW an address or a series of addresses. This really nice to have desired location already in car so it just has to be selected to navigate. Yes you could put the addresses in your contacts but why clutter up your phone for a one-time event.
Status
Implemented in v6.2 software via the Calendar feature.

It's not really the same thing to have to enter it into my Google Calendar. I was really anxious to have this feature because I love it in my 2014 Mercedes GL SUV, but once I tried entering addresses and POIs a few times, I realized I don't need it. Even street addresses take usually 2-4 taps to find exactly the address I want, and POIs usually require 2-4 taps to have the desired POI appear in the top 3 results. Usually takes me about 5 seconds to set the destination.
The BMW i3 has this feature. Another easy to implement via OTA download.
Calendar works well for this for me.
