How to Turn Off Location in mybmw?
2 Answers
You can turn off the positioning system by cutting its power supply. However, it is generally not recommended to disable this feature. More related information is as follows: 1. Introduction: Car navigation and positioning is an essential function in today's high-end flagship models. As modern drivers travel increasingly longer distances, they rely more on external navigation tools to find the correct driving routes. Although most smartphones now offer GPS navigation, a car equipped with GPS navigation often conveys a sense of premium quality. 2. Functionality: In the navigation system, you only need to set the destination, and the system will automatically recommend three routes based on your preferences: highway priority route, general priority route, and shortest path route, all marked on the electronic map. It provides voice-guided navigation from the starting point to the destination. A larger central control screen and more precise GPS positioning are great aids for driving, but prolonged operation of the central control screen can pose safety hazards, so drivers should be cautious.
When driving my BMW, I often encounter situations where I want to turn off location tracking. First, ensure your phone is connected to the internet, open the myBMW App, and log into your account. Find the "Settings" option in the bottom menu. After entering, scroll to the "Privacy & Security" section, where you'll see the "Location Sharing" toggle. Turning it off will stop location tracking. I usually do this to protect my privacy, such as when I don't want to reveal my whereabouts during business trips. However, after turning off location, the App's vehicle finder feature will stop working. Once, I parked in an unfamiliar lot without location tracking and had trouble finding my car, so I only turn it off when unnecessary. It's advisable to regularly check the App version, as updates may change the navigation path. Overall, the operation is simple but requires balancing convenience.
