Screenshare - Brilliant

So I know I (not the only one in the UK) complained that the G30 Nav Pro has no speed cameras and speed limit display... well there is another solution (I am sure not new in the G30, i.e. previous BMW's will have it) :

I fired up screenshare with my Samsung Galaxy Note, and it shares your screen like you would to a TV (AllShare)..

I start Sygic or TomTom or CoPilot or Waze etc. and get all the speed cameras and speed limits on my screen as I drive... perfect for a longer drive

Edit: Doesn't work once you move, sorry for the false alarm

Does that feature work when the vehicle is in motion or does it lock out the screenshare feature?

Bah... drove a bit and message pops up... it thinks you are mirroring screen to watch a video and blanks the screen....

So scrap this for my intended use

I think eventually there will be coding to allow us to mirror while driving, so for now, it's a pain, but hopefully not for too long.
