Examining the BMW iDrive Interface

By Jeremy Laukkonen, About.com Guide

In addition to basic navigation functionality, iDrive is also capable of issuing traffic warnings. If the system locates a traffic problem on the selected route, it will issue a warning so the driver can take action. These warnings show how far away the problem is and how long of a delay to expect. The iDrive navigation system is also capable of calculating alternate routes, which can be accessed by selecting the detour option.
