Does the iDrive/Nav alert to Fixed Speed/Red light cams

If so how does this get updates with new cameras?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't think it does. At least I haven't found the settings to turn this on...

Doesn't the Connected Drive Freedom? Do auto updates via Internet function?

Yes it does - kind of. For really big Map Updates you still need to download via the connected drive portal.

Map Data supply is a complicated thing here in Australia and you'll find you'll get 1, may 2 major updates per year with no minor updates. It's not like a TomTom that has frequent mapshare updates.

In so far as getting Traffic Light Cameras etc. you could potentially create a POI data set but the BMW won't alert you.

The issue is getting the source data in the first place. You could reverse engineer something if you have a TomTom like device.

We have a Mazda 6 which uses TomTom and the speed camera etc. thing works well. Pity the BMW doesn't seem to do this.
