You wan't a wireless transfer with your NAV6.
Ik know that is not possible.
So you ar gonna eat your heat

This is complete bonkers. I've literally just watched a video on the MRA YouTube channel where Serge transfers a route from his phone into a Garmin GPS using Garmin Drive.
I'll eat my hat.

Hilarious. I said if the functionality isn't available I'd eat my hat, and it clearly is because I've seen it done with a Zumo XT.

The Nav 6 is the most up-to-date GPS that interfaces with the BMW. It's not like it would need anything it doesn't already have i.e. Bluetooth.

Surely this could be rolled out via a simple software update?

Anyway, I'm preaching to the converted. I'd go and direct my frustration at Garmin themselves but I know I'd be wasting my time (just like complaining to the likes of Sena!!)

Think I'll go boil some hats instead.......

And what Garmin device was that?
(Use pepper and salt)

Use pepper and salt???? Are we cooking something?

@jack-van-tilburg

Not sure, probably £500 worth of Zumo XT that won't fit the interface with my 1250GSA without yet another costly alteration/upgrade.

I just don't get why this isn't an obvious feature on all Garmin (and other) devices.

Just seems daft to me.

If this kind of functionality isn't possible I'll eat my hat.

Grabbing a route from a group library that someone else has created while out on the road would be a major step forward for MRA imho.

Who wants to be faffing around with tiny battery cover screws and micro SD cards in a lay-by??

@jack-van-tilburg Thats a shame, not exactly practical to be unscrewing the battery cover and removing a micro SD card at the side of the road.....

I wonder if connecting the iPhone and Nav 6 together with a lighting/micros usb cable will make the SD Card available as a place to save the route file without needing to remove it? Just like you do when connecting it via a PC or Mac.

Occasionally, when we're out on the road, we need to be able to choose a route we've already planned from the MRA app and send it to our BMW Nav 6 device to navigate the route.

Is this possible?

I've tried using the Garmin Drive app with my iPhone 13pro but it won't pair with the nav 6 (even though the nav 6 says its paired).

I don't want to have to carry a laptop around with me but currently this is the only way of getting routes onto the nav 6.

There are many platforms on the web that record, animate and produce content that is very similar to what MRA have launched recently. All of them are pretty seamless and capable of sharing almost instantly.

Why is it that MRA animations are restricted to a single browser (Chrome), presented in a near unusable format initially (.webm) and then take an absolute AGE to convert to MP4?!?!?!?!? If they even work at all?? These are 00's style problems that shouldn't exist in 2021...

Frustrating!!!!
