Can anyone offer the ELI5 version.
If you've already started the directions to your destination, it's too late to save it as a shortcut.

The 1-8 shortcut buttons in iDrive save the action that is currently highlighted on the screen, NOT the current screen. So to save navigation directions to a certain address you have to do the following:

1. Navigation
2. Enter new destination
3. Fill out the city, state, house number, street. DO NOT hit "start navigation" or whatever it is called.
4. Highlight "Start navigation" or whatever it is called with your cursor. Do not click down on the iDrive controller.
5. Press and hold the 1-8 button you want to save to this destination.
