Google Maps

Hi Chaps,

For those with iPhones that don't have Apple CarPlay, and prefer to use Google Maps for navigation, is there any way to send the Google route to iDrive so that you don't have to mount your phone as a replacement sat nav?

You can send the destination to idrive, but not the route.

You can send the route from the BMW Routes website though, and I think that’s based on Google Maps.

Not quite what the OP wanted though

Or just use Google maps?

I will continue to use Google Maps and mount my phone each time I need to use it as Nav
