While reading J. Spira's fine article on iDrive, I noticed that he stated that the SatNav directional arrow popup was now functional in the latest progman version. But in my LCI, it still doesn't work. I had thought that BMW disabled the function in HUD-equipped cars, but my car does have the option to turn the pop-up on or off in the iDrive settings menu.
Does anyone out there have HUD and a functioning arrow popup?

Jonathan is correct, turn function on, HUD off and you get pop-up.

Yup, thanks guys. That was it. HUD on, popup off. HUD off, popup on.
On a side note, it's amazing how blind I feel using nav without HUD. I know that if you never had HUD, you wouldn't miss it. But once you've got nav and HUD, you'll never be able to live without the two together.

By pop-up arrow, do you mean the small arrow in the corner of the screen that gives the general direction of the destination? Thanks.

Pop-up arrow is the arrow in the assist window (or HUD in cars equipped thusly) that pops up when the satnav speaks.

Thanks for the kind words re my article.
Re the HUD, did you try turning HUD off and seeing if it works?
