| cassidym,
I special ordered my car with all the options except rear side airbags, comfort seats, and active cruise control. B)
I am still quite pleased with the software upgrade despite the continuing lack of MP3 playback, which should be all in a day's work for a bright Microsoft engineer!
To view the navigation map from any screen, I simply say:
"Map, direction of travel"
or
"Map, facing north"
This has always worked for me, but I have not tried this with the new software. I'll check tomorrow and post a repy if it fails.
As for switching off navigation guidance, I don't think there's a voice command for that, but it is doable through the Navigation screen with the iDrive controller. Simply select your destination, press the controller, and uncheck the checkbox from the pop-up menu.
Finally, I do not have satellite radio. I am seriously considering it, but I am not sure if it is compatible with Nav... |
