How the Routing Preferences Work on a BMW Device

BMW devices provide you with multiple route preference options.

An explanation of these route preferences can be found below:

  • Shorter Distance: Creates a route that is a shorter driving distance between two points
  • Faster Time: Utilizes information including posted speed limits, road types, and driving distance to create a route that is faster
    • Faster Time may often have a longer distance, but offers a faster arrival time over the Shorter Distance option
  • Curvy Roads: The BMW Motorrad Navigator Street, Navigator V, and Navigator VI can calculate routes that prefer curvy roads; this feature can provide a more enjoyable ride, but it may increase the time or distance to your destination.
  • Off Road: The device draws a straight line route between two points, also known as a bearing
