Idrive Navigation problem

I searched the forums for this issue, but didn't find anything.

Today I did a "navigate home", and my navigation keeps restarting, over and over. It's almost like it has 2 different destinations in mind. And, the directions from office to home were inaccurate, so something's screwed up.

I tried cancelling nav then restarting, no joy. And, cancelling destination via the flag, "stop navigation", it keeps trying to "restart navigation."

Anyone have any ideas? I'm coded, so I hate to go back to the dealer.

Sorry, never experienced that problem in my NAV.

You may have to make that dreaded trip back to the dealer... That's what the warranty is for.

I have also never had this happen.

FYI -- I find the easiest way to stop the nav is to push the microphone button on the steering wheel and say "stop navigation".

Have you ever used the bimmercode app to start navigation? If so, I think the default mode for that is to restart navigation automatically. You might want to check that.
