Maps: Is Perspective View Gone?

LBH23 · 08-30-2019, 10:47 AM

Just took delivery of HS 2020 last night. For years I have always used the "perspective view" in Maps. When I went to Map Views - there was no 3D option and no perspective view option. Am I just not scrolling through to the right menu, or is perspective view gone in iDrive 7? Anyone know what I'm talking about - any help on this? Could it be that the 2 series gets a dumbed down version of the Nav system? My previous cars were 550i and 340i. Thanks in advance.

When I went in for my 'Genius' appt, she turned this view on in mine so I know it is there. Unfortunately I can't direct you to the right menu. Can you look it up in the manual on iDrive?

iDive manual says to go to Nav, Maps, and then MapViews - and that Perspective should be an option. Which is exactly what I did. Unfortunately, I am not finding the same options in my menu.

You don't see the map view icon, bottom left?

Took delivery of our 2020 a few days ago at the Welt. It definitely has it, just need to change the setting.

Yes it has 3d / perspective view, I use it pretty often.

Left side menu, down to map views choose from north up, direction, perspective etc..

Thanks all - found it and all is good. I was trying to find it via iDrive as opposed to directly from the map. Thanks again!
