Compass and navigation

[walt_ohio]

I have noticed that once navigation has started the compass gets covered by the navigation interface. Not a big deal but I kind of like to know what direction I am traveling especially on a road trip. Many of the new user interface features are great BUT some simple items were removed or covered over.

I agree with you; I too found that change annoying. If you don't quickly tap the compass icon right after initiating nav - it is covered up.

You can tap pretty much anywhere on the map to bring it up again.

Thanks, I should have thought of that myself!

Hey, if you to bring up the compass orientation, tap anywhere on the screen - it operates like a tablet or iphone. I know kinda not obvious, I only learned by watching various YouTube vids. lol.

I agree. I don’t think you should have to tap for that though I should just be up at all times. Esp if you legitimately don’t know where you’re going and are trying to focus. My $.02. A silly thing but they should improve it.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but because you’ve had a prior M3, I’d like your take on amount of “phantom braking” in newer one vs your prior one. Some have said theres much more yet others report no different.

So far no phantom braking. However haven’t had many longer highway drives as yet; so too soon to tell.

Thanks. I love your red car (but I’d rather blend in when it’s mine).
