Just loving my new 09 535xi and finally learned how to access addresses and phone #'s sent via email from Google maps using BMW assist -

Google maps - locate a business or address
press the send icon
select car
enter your registered email address with BMW

and send....

go under phone on your Idrive screen and select BMW assist, and all of your sent messages from Google maps will be found.

This feature is free and you don't need to subscribe to the convenience plan...

enjoy! i just love this feature....

I'll post a pic tomorrow. I've used it before. BMW had a video online showing how to use it, but they must have taken it down.

Yea, it's came in handy three times already. Much easier to Google Map it and then send it to the car instead of keying the address in with the iDrive controller.

Going to look at a house tomorrow... unfortunately the street isn't in Google Maps. Ugh!
