On the 2021 BMW X1, the onboard navigation system is integrated into the display on the center console, positioned right in the middle of the large screen above the instrument cluster. I often drive out, so I operate it using the iDrive controller—rotating the dial switches between menus. Once the navigation is turned on, the screen displays the map, and setting a destination is quite convenient. I’ve also noticed that when connected to a smartphone, it can project phone navigation via CarPlay, but BMW’s native navigation responds faster, especially with clear prompts at complex intersections. The navigation interface is well laid out, so I don’t need to divert too much attention from driving to check the route. During regular maintenance, I update the map data to ensure accuracy, and upgrading isn’t too troublesome—it automatically downloads when connected to Wi-Fi. Overall, its position is designed to be user-friendly, avoiding any obstruction of view while operating it.

I've been using the BMW X1 for over a year, and the car navigation is displayed on that large central control screen, easily visible with just a glance down while driving. I prefer using the buttons on the steering wheel to quickly bring up the navigation interface—just a few presses and it's done. During traffic jams in the city, the navigation automatically suggests detour routes to save time, which is especially handy during peak hours. Map updates are free, and I regularly check for new versions through the car's iDrive system. Occasionally, the navigation might freeze, but a system restart fixes it. As for related settings, I often use the voice destination feature; just say the address, and it automatically plans the route, much more convenient than manual input. The navigation's position isn't hard to find, and even a beginner can get the hang of it after a few tries.

When driving, the 2021 BMW X1's navigation is displayed on the central screen, and I remember its position being very prominent when viewed from the instrument cluster. I was a bit confused the first time I used it, but later found that I just needed to press the iDrive button next to the steering wheel to enter the main menu, locate the map icon, and click on it. The navigation operation is simple, allowing control via either touchscreen or dial knob. When setting a destination, inputting the address generates a route, and the interface is colorful and easy to understand. I think it integrates better with other functions, such as not interfering with the display while listening to music. If there are signal issues, the navigation may briefly interrupt but quickly recovers. Related reminders are also thoughtful, such as a small pop-up warning for speeding, which doesn’t distract attention.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Reverse Parking?

Generally, practicing reverse parking for four sessions a day takes about a week to master.
