The BMW Navigation Professional

The BMW Navigation Professional has been launched as standard feature on all BMW 7 Series models from 01 November 2010 onwards. BMW Navigation Professional is a comprehensive solution with all on board systems. This system operates through the on board iDrive control with integrated Global Positioning System (GPS) and a full-colour 10.2-inch high-resolution display, instrument cluster and rear-seat navigation control.

Dr. Andreas Schaaf, President, BMW India said, "BMW was the first manufacturer in Europe to launch an integrated navigation system for a series vehicle in 1994 which formed one of the foundation stones for innovative systems to network vehicles with their surrounding environment. The BMW Navigation Professional continues to set the benchmark in the luxury car segment in India by offering integrated navigation system as a standard feature."

Currently, the BMW Navigation Professional is being introduced in the flagship model the BMW 7 Series and subsequently will be offered in other BMW models as well.

BMW Navigation Professional is extremely easy to operate as it guides you with very little hassle to your desired destination. Desired destination can be conveniently entered in this system using the iDrive or voice control, available as an option. The current location of the vehicle is established automatically by the BMW Navigation Professional with the help of the Global Positioning System (GPS). It also calculates the best possible route and guides you step by step to your destination. This car navigation aid can also access a digital map of the area that can be viewed by means of a zoom function to get a high-resolution display.
