Previous address loading?

Hi,

I have had a somewhat recurring issue where a previous destination in iDrive pops up spontaneously after 2-3 min on the road even though I am going somewhere else entirely and not actually using navigation at that point.

Clicking on navigation, the address isn't listed as a selected destination (the checkbox next to the checkered flag is blank). I have worked around this by checking the flag and then unselecting it in the menu.

Wondering if there is something I am missing to prevent this from occurring?

Thanks,
dbbude

Do you have connected drive app on your phone? I had this issue before a couple of times. Every time phone connected with bt, it loaded the app and the app loads the address in the nav. Turned off automatic loading in the app and it works fine now.

This is most likely it - had the same issue last week.

Out of interest how have you stopped the connected app from setting the nav destination?

You can find it in configuration: Start Navi Automatically. I've Dutch version of the app. Don't mind the translation.

What also worked was deleting the app and reinstalling.

Thank you both. I just switched auto nav off. I was searching for the answer in the car system and neglected to check the app on my phone

Thanks again!
