Yes - I have done the same and this works absolutely fine.

That was not my query though - I use the BMW Navigator V and this is what I have been discussing.

When I take clients on tour (I have 25 on a trip next May), there is a mix of TomTom, Garmin and BMW Navigator GPS'. Hardly anyone will use the BMW app but, over the next few years, as more motorcycles come with this as standard and the app itself improves, this will be the way forward.

I have the R1250GS which has the BMW app (more like the Beeline navigaion systems which I use on another motorcycle) - the app works but you need to understand what you are doing, what it is really telling you and where you are. If creating routes for clients or friends, you need to work on the basis that the level of understanding or even interest is low. Most clients trust the GPS and only briefly look at maps to find out where they are going. They are more intersted in the riding, country and experience.

It is the people on this forum who are the ones interested in getting it right and as easy to use as possible for others.
