Hot off the press. This is BMW's big announcement today, via The Diesel Driver.

Complete article with video demo here.


Without much fanfare, BMW has added geotagging and social networking capabilities to its cars that allows drivers to geotag their location with a few clicks in iDrive and share it with friends via e-mail. If a route has been entered into the car?s navigation system, the destination will be sent in the same e-mail.

This is the second update to BMW?s online services functionality within a week.
Article continues here.

Rudy, you are (as always) most welcome. And I will pass the "danke" along to BMW NA as well.

I now have information about what is needed for the BlackBerry function to work.

The BlackBerry maps function must be enabled.

See http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices...berry_maps.jsp
