Idrive7: address input is back in 21-03

After being removed last July, the address input option is now back as of the March 21 istep!

I don't think I've ever noticed it was missing. It seems so much easier to just say "hey Bmw, (or your car's name) take me to..." and have it navigate you there.

It was ok here in the UK as we just seaerch by postcode but I know a lot of folks across the pond where you are were complaining as there were too many places / roads with the same name

This is really great.

It is impossible to use voice input for Finnish addresses and I bet there are other languages the assistant does not work with.

Now only if we would get te 03-21 update for G20 OTA.

Address input is a must also in my system language, (where BMW has not found the resources to implement speech recognition in iDrive 7).
(A bit disappointing really as I could talk in my language to my Audi model year 2014!). But good that BMW rectified the mistake and restored address input.
