Hey Gang

There's a "I' in the left vertical row next to the map on the navigation. I assume it means "information" for the area. Does anyone have a site or a pdf I can get to which explains teh icons. There is one that looks like a square with loops in all corners that I don't understand.

thanks

They're map & information icons.

i.e info on traffic conditions in the if you have TM & the function enabled & the others cover Perspective View, Directional View & a couple of others.

The square with arrows in it claims to be for entering the destination via map - but can also be used to scroll around the map

Some kind person previously pointed me to the online version of the manuals, where you will find these documented (in the UK edition from page 132 onwards). These are in the Information section - click on the E60 forums loga at the top and navigate from there

Click on the following link:

And read page 137 (.pdf page 138) to see the description of the soft keys...

Sorry for the confusing icon question. I DID NOT mean the left side vertical icons, but the icons that appear on the map itself.

sese, if you get your car's software (CIP) updated to the latest version v20, it adds a perspective view to your nav. This feature was introduced a couple of versions back.

S/W version 22 will have a scottish version whereby the Perspective map is linked to the wiper rain sensor. In wet weather the blue sky above the map will turn drizzle grey.
