07/2020 Software - Nav issue - just me?

Hi guys after some help, bmw have either changed this heavily or mine is bugged after update at the dealership to 07/2020 software

On the Nav page and pushing IDrive controller to the left there used to be a larger menu with address input, points of interest etc. All gone on mine. Definitely wasn't like that before the update

Anyone else on 07/2020 that has a Nav page that looks like this? Ignore the colour defects that's just the pic

Cheers

My Nav page looks the same on 11/2019.70. Have you tried resetting ID to default and signing back in?

Yeh tried the usual, log in log out, hold button for 30 seconds, reset IDrive data completely. Found a video online of what it was before, wonder why they've changed it

I noticed this change as well on my G30 w/ this update. They removed a lot of options and others were moved behind these three.

If you go into "My Destinations" you'll find stuff like your previous destinations and etc.

If you need to enter anything you'll need to use the Where To? auto complete now. You can enter stuff directly, but if you're trying to "filter" similar to the old address entry you'll probably want to start backwards (meaning city, street, number) though you can just enter normally if you know the exact address.

I'm not a fan of the change.

Sorry, I’m sure this is a stupid question, but how do you enter an address manually (for example if you can’t pronounce the address because you’re abroad)? My M340i has just installed 07/2020 and the sat nav input of address now seems to purely rely on voice commands resulting in merely online search results. I don’t want to have to type stuff in with the iDrive wheel!

On my G30 you can do the following:

1. Hit "Nav" on the iDrive console above the wheel.
2. Click "Where to?"
3. Raise your hand toward the screen and type the address as normal "123 Main Street Anytown PA".

If driving, obviously use the voice commands they work really well for destinations.

You'll get auto complete as it searches as you type so you can hit the address on the right if it figures it out before you complete.

The same is true for stuff like GPS coordinates a well. Just type them in with the correct symbols and it will pull them up.

I guess they were thinking for us to just enter enter the destination into search no matter what it is and it will sort it out for you. I find it less intuitive though.
