Navigation map appeared briefly in gauge cluster

I noticed something unusual immediately after starting my car yesterday; a detailed map showed up in the normal location of the power meter. Is there any way to make it appear permanently, or was this just a glitch? The information is virtually the same as that found in the head-up display. Thanks in advance for the help.

The only way to make it permanent is to turn off heads up display and set destination in the nav. Cars that do not have heads up display will show it by default.

+1 I love the HUD nav. It is IMHO way better than the nav on the idrive screen.

Much appreciated; I tried switching off the HUD and the map indeed appeared in the gauge cluster (I’d rather have the HUD, so I switched it back on immediately).

If you don't have a HUD, then maps are shown in the dash by default. For others, they just need to deactivate maps from the HUD.

Only when I'm using the navigation.
