My Ride: 2007 530xi Silver Grey over Black Dakota with Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, Comfort, NAV, Logic 7, Sirius, 18" 123s.
Current:
2006 Lexus GX 470
2005 SLK 350
No Longer With Us:
BMW 330xi; Mini Cooper S; Infiniti FX45; every Audi imaginable; various others
Wonder if someone could answer a quick question for me. I have an '07 530 xi with NAV. On my Infiniti I am able to preview the route that its NAV system intends to send me on. I can't seem to figure out how to do this on the 530, or find reference to it in the manual.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
By the way, I'm loving my new 530xi more each day!

First, start destination and then go to the bottom of the screen for the routing that NAV Lady selects. You can change the options and she will normally change the route.

I want to know this too. I have not been able to figure it out how to get a list of street names for the route I am heading.

It's possible, it's in one of the view options on the Navigation menu. Once the destination has been selected one of the view options in the menu (may be near the map selection) will lis out the entire route on a turn by turn basis. Can't check the precise menu option (I think it's route list or something similar) right now but it's definitely there.
That's right, it's in the Navigation menu- Route List

I know I am in the wrong place but can some one tell me if my 2004 545 can use the navigation firmware update v27.1? I don't see any post that involve my car. They all are for the x5 or older model cars.
