BMW Philippines Introduces Navigation System
The first of its kind in the Philippine automotive industry is now a standard feature in all BMW 3 Series and 1 Series models.
Navigation that speaks to you.
Sheer Driving Pleasure includes knowing where to go in advance. A color sunlight-readable touch screen allows you to enter a destination, and the BMW Navigation System takes you there with detailed maps and turn-by-turn voice directions. For safe driving, the system even announces street names so you never have to take your eyes off the road.
Nationwide map coverage.
From city streets to country roads, the BMW Navigation System is preloaded with a Nuvi map covering major thoroughfares in cities and provinces around the Philippines. Continuous upgrades will also be made available at all authorized BMW dealerships. In addition, the BMW Navigation System accepts custom Points of Interest (POI) so you can program your preferred destinations.
Bluetooth and MP3 technology.
Go beyond navigation with other innovations. The BMW Navigation System integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker that can be paired with most mobile phones so you can make hands-free calls. An MP3 player can be hooked up to your BMW’s Aux-in jack for endless miles of music. Add to these a JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more.
| The defining characteristic of the BMW solution is its portability – it can be used just as well out of the car as in it. Because the BMW Portable navigation system crams much more into its compact dimensions than just a 3.5-inch touch screen and a GPS receiver – it also includes an MP3 player, Bluetooth hands-free functionality and a route planner.
The designers put a lot of effort into making the system as user-friendly as possible – for example, operation is made easier by the use of large on-screen symbols.
BMW Portable navigation system is within the driver’s field of vision and poses no danger to passengers in the case of an accident. There are no trailing wires, and the unit is powered by the vehicle’s on-board electrics, with its battery allowing for use outside of the car. Drivers are guided to their destination via on-screen maps and voice directions, including street names, and also benefit from an array of additional features.

Make Hands-free Calls
Talk about worry-free driving. BMW Navigation integrates Bluetooth wireless technology with a built-in microphone and speaker, so you can pair it with your compatible Bluetooth phone. Then talk hands-free through the 360 while staying focused on the road. Simply dial numbers with nüvi’s touch screen keypad to make a call. To answer calls, just tap nüvi’s screen and speak directly into its built-in microphone. You can also easily look up and dial numbers from your personalized phone book or from your phone’s call history log. With 1-touch dialing for points of interest (POIs), you can conveniently call ahead for reservations or information.
Navigate With EaseBMW 360 comes pre-loaded with nuvi map, the most comprehensive, commercially available map covering major thoroughfares in cities and provinces around the Philippines. Simply touch the color sunlight- readable screen to enter a destination, and nüvi takes you there with 2-D map and turn-by-turn voice directions. It even announces the name of exits and streets so you never have to take your eyes off the road. In addition, BMW Navigation accepts custom points of interest, such as school zones and safety cameras and lets you set proximity alerts to warn you of upcoming POIs.
Take It With YouLike the rest of the nüvi series, BMW Navigation sports a sleek, slim design and fits comfortably in your pocket or purse. Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot. |
