How can I display the map and the current car position without having any planned route entered? I just want the navigation to show the road ahead and any junctions/roundabouts etc.
Can this be done?
Thanks for your input.

If you want to cancel a planned route, use the icons on the left and click on the one which has a dot and arrow. IIRC it's the second one down from the top.

(Just kidding).I don't know if it is just me, but I find the navigation not to be very user friendly and lacking features. Anyone share that view? You would expect for what it costs for it to be a lot better. A lot of the hands free versions (TomTom) are much better.

Thanks ABC. I will try it. I knew it would be as easy as ABC (Just kidding).

One wonders why BMW doesn't just license the Garmin (or other) system.
