BMW ConnectedDrive - Google Maps Send to Car
Anyone ever use this feature?
I use it quite a bit for work when I travel to clients. It is nice to copy from my outlook calendar right into google maps and send to car. Instead of having to input the address from the idrive system. This worked flawlessly on my M235i, but having some issues with the new M2. I finally got my M2 setup in my connecteddrive account, new dealership was having issues with their system. Still, unable to send the address. Called their support and they said Google changed something and no longer working. He showed me a way to do this directly from the connected drive login interface. Anyone else having this issue?

you can link your calendar with the bmw connected app and it will do a push notification calculating time to destination. you click the notification and say send to car. for example, you have a doctors appointment at 10 the app will notify you and say you need to leave in x time to get to your appointment for 10. then you click on that notification and you will see an option to send to vehicle via usb or messages, select messages and it show up in your car messages. I also set one of my quick buttons in the car for messages so i dont have to scroll through the menu.

Just wanted to bump this, has anyone had any luck with google maps on computer and then sending the directions to the car. I'm trying to plan a detailed route through Europe on google maps and then send it to the car but it doesn't seem to be working

I've not done a multi-stop trip on my M2 yet, but when I did one on my e92 M3 you had to use the Connected drive web portal to get to a captive google maps, then create the trip, then upload to your car.

Phoned local 'genius' who disappointingly didn't seem fully aware of both aspects of the issue. The obstacle in my case is that I can find no link within Google Maps on PC (or iPad or iPhone) to 'Send to car' or similar. Any car. So presumably that's down to Google, not BMW, yes?

Mine seemed to stop working with google Maps after I changed my car a year ago, but still worked from the Connected Drive web site; it also doesn't work from BMW Routes. I was wondering at some point if it was still sending to the old car but if that is the case I don't know how to remove my details and re-add them.
