sending google maps direction to car
Hey, I would like to do this. I believe I need a connected drive account. I tried to figure out how to get one, but can't. Can someone help me out and post step by step direction. I know that once you have it set up, if i'm in google maps, I just share the address with the bmw email account or connected drive account. Thanks in advance.

Need to use BMW Remote App
The send to car from google maps does not work any more. You have to use 'My BMW Remote' app. Once you install it, you have to use your email address and login password for BMW Assist. Once you are logged in, you can execute a google search in the app and send the result to your car. PM me if you have questions.

The Google maps still work, you just have to go to the "classic" maps by clicking on the "?" at the bottom of the page. I use it almost every day.
You will need to get a "BMW Assist" account (and pay for it) set up and once that is accomplished you should be able to send addresses through Google maps, or "My BMW Remote" or any of a few apps available in the Apple Apps store. |

OP: once you find a location, select "more", "send", "Car" and enter your BMWAssist email address. |

it's really my fav feature
there's also an android app that adds it to google maps. when you're in google maps just click Share>Send to Car. i use it more while on the road than the default built in nav functions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.sendtocar

Yes, it is on the "new" Google Maps, and it acknowledges that the message was received, but it never actually is received by the vehicle. At least that is my experience trying to use the new maps. Go back to the classic maps, and no problem. Also "My BMW Remote" in a iPhone 5S works too. There were issues, for about three weeks, my 535i would not receive the messages, but my X3 still received messages. BMW said they have some software issues and it took as far as I can tell, about three weeks to resolve. All is good now on classic maps, maybe the new maps will work shortly.

It seems the new Google Maps are sending messages to the BMW vehicles. I tested mine after the earlier post and it was working just like the "Classic Maps" does.
Thank you BMW. |

I just use the iPhone / Android App called "Send To Car" ... works and has worked flawlessly for years! Integrates nicely with my Exchange Server Calendar appointments!

It has nothing to do with the Browser. I was having the same problem of Send to Car not showing up in the New Google Maps but all was well in Classic. I found this link on another forum that solved the problem for me. The New Google Maps requires you to be logged into Google. Works fine on FF and Safari on the Mac.

When I did it in classic Maps, it said something like "make sure you save your car details to your account so that you can do this again in the future". I did that, and maybe that is why it shows up in "new" Maps?

sending google maps direction to car
I'm using Chrome on a Win 8.1 PC. I am logged into Google. I went back to Classic Maps and sent a destination to my car, making sure the box for 'Save this Send to Car device to my Google account' was checked. Went back to New Maps. Send to Car was not there. Not that a big deal. I can still use Classic Maps.
