The manual is confusing, as are the I-Drive menus. I want to store my current location in my address book, but I cant figure out how. Any help is appreciated.

When on current location, choose Address book, New Address, and choose "Use current location".

My Ride: 2008 BMW 550i Sport
Carbon Black Metallic/Cream Beige
Manny tranny and other stuff
Recently gone, but never forgotten:
2005 Ford Mustang GT (hence the name)
Torch Red/Crimson
Manny tranny and every option available for that year
2002 Chrysler 300M Special
Brilliant Black/Light Taupe/Dark Slate
Autostick and goo-gobs of neat features that I will sorely miss
Make sure you're at the "Home Address" selection. You can't save a name to it (I don't think), it saves it as Home Address.

Just a little thing, but I always put my home address as a few of streets away from my actual address, even put in your local Tesco's address instead.
Saw on that Real Hustle programme once that they 'mock' stole this guy's car and his TomTom was in the glove box along with his house keys so they just clicked on his Home address in the TomTom and said they could easily just go round and empty his house too!

Or they could just look at the vehicle insurance card or registration that's supposed to always remain in the car, go buy a map, and voila'.

Still can't figure out, with all the software updates we've seen over the years, why BMW hasn't added a PIN code to the home address entry...

Just because he has the documents doesn't mean he's the owner. And most places I've been, if the registration/insurance isn't in the car, that's an automatic ticket. In Washington state, you MUST have them in the car.
