Paulinelinker Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 My car's GPS persistently displays a route from Swansea to our residence, despite our never having been there. Additionally, it sometimes indicates our location in the Bristol Channel. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00rmansp0rsche Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Please reset the system. One method included pressing and holding the power button for around 20 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 Hello, I attempted the procedure, but regardless of my approach, the screen does not go blank as shown in some YouTube videos. I have reset the device, which resulted in the loss of all my favorite GPS locations that I often used, but the issue remains unresolved.

Screwdriver_1 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Consider verifying if the maps need updating; if they do, go with the update, since this may rectify the issue. This is only a recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 Updating the map is a commendable concept; however, what is the procedure for doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screwdriver_1 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Do you subscribe to map updates with BMW Connected Drive? If applicable, download the most recent version with the BMW Download Manager. Examine the webpage provided below. If you lack a linked disk, I am uncertain how you may refresh the maps. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkEinstein Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Consider unplugging the vehicle battery for 20 to 30 minutes; this may serve as an effective reset, and it is worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
