What different map views can I select in my BMW with Operating System 8/8.5?

Different views (Reduced, Adaptive, Extended) can be selected for the map to adjust the amount of displayed information on the map. The selected map mode determines the density of the displayed information, e.g., traffic bulletins, favorite points of interest or parking information.

 

Reduced map mode

The displayed information on the map is reduced to the most necessary information. With active guidance, only information that is relevant for the current route will be displayed such as traffic bulletins.

  • The display of traffic flow and traffic events is limited to the current route.
  • The green traffic flow for unrestricted driving is not displayed.
  • In this map mode, the manual zoom is available.

 

Adaptive map mode

The displayed information on the map is adjusted to the driver’s vehicle handling and habits. Driving information for repeatedly driven routes or favorite points of interest can thereby also be displayed without active destination guidance.

 

  • If the home address, business address, or favorite destinations have been defined, more extensive information on the route can be displayed.
  • The display of the points of interest depends on how often the search is performed for the respective points of interest as well as on the current driving situation.
  • In this map mode, the map zoom feature auto zoom is preset.

 

Extended map mode

All available information is displayed. The information displayed depends on the configured map scale.

In this map mode, manual zoom is preset.
