I noticed today two blue dots on my NAV screen one on the map side and the other on the split screen side. Do you think this is a software glitch? Or bad pixels? You can see the blue dots in any screen, map climate accept when I start the car and get the BMW message in Brown, there are no dots at that point in time. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Without a picture, I would guess bad pixels. Car still under warranty?

Hello anyone there???
Sorry I dozed for a minute. Did you get polarized sun glasses just before the problem?
I am serious, you would see blurred blue dots with fuzzy edges not defined edges.

Are you referring to those blue icons I see that represent local POIs such as saloons, resturants, titty bars, etc.?

Sixcard, it is not an icon that I'm seeing, it is a blue dot in the center of the NAV screen and the dot is the size of a pixel on a screen, very small. What I don't understand if it is a dead pixel why it doesn't show once you start the car when the BMW message shows up? I'm wondering if this could be a software glitch but I hoping to hear if someone else have seen this problem. Anyway I am schedule today at the dealer for regular maintenance I will get them to check it.
