I am trying to input GPS coordinates on my E90 325i i-drive. I have no idea where to input the coordinates. Can anyone advice?Thanks.

The i-Drive Navi can use with V-kool together?

Yes because the BMW iDrive Nav GPS (sharkfin) antenna is outside the car, where as a Garmin unit uses its own built-in antenna (so if you use a Garmin or whatever, it will have slightly poorer GPS satellite reception).

Yup! BMW navigation is not user friendly with many areas not shown although i have got the latest version and I still can't find roads i see very clearly on Googlemap. However, I do find the other i-drive functions very useful.
