BMW and Google Maps now work hand-in-hand in Germany with a feature called Drive Assist. You simply look up an address at your desk using Google Maps, then send it like you would an email straight to your car’s GPS system. There’s no printing out a map then punching in the address once you get to your car. This has always been a major hang-up of ours with navigation systems. Entering destinations into the GPS is often more trouble than it’s worth. This takes the hassle out of the process using two already-familiar gadgets.
We’ve put a video below that shows it in action. Unfortunately, we don’t know when or if this will become available in the U.S., but there doesn’t seem to be a logical reason why it wouldn’t.
