- My Navigation System does not always display what I know is the shortest/fastest route? Everybody knows short-cuts in his or her own region, which he/she can use to avoid traffic jams or unfavourable red lights. The BMW Integrated Navigation calculates routes using detailed information from a map database and considers various factors such as distance, average speed, road conditions, turning restrictions, etc. Personal preferences can be considered on the BMW Integrated Navigation via settings on route options. For example, this includes motorways, toll roads, tunnels or ferries. As a result, certain roads or areas can be avoided. Of course, the current state of the map data can also influence the calculated routes. Consequently, it makes sense always to have the latest map data installed on the BMW Integrated Navigation.

Your BMW Integrated Navigation searches for the nearest TMC station automatically. In border areas, you may therefore not receive the TMC messages for the country that you are currently in. In this case, you must select the TMC station manually.
