Perspective View Map not changing day and night views
It was doing it fine last night, showing a beautiful night sky. Tonight, it was showing the daytime sky. I went into settings and made sure it was not on day, not on night, but on automatic. I was able to get to night view when I do split screen and put the map on the right side, but the left side map or a non-split screen map still showed daytime sky.
Any advise? Thanks. |

It may also be a software glitch! So far I haven't had a problem with the day/night switchover. I do like the fact that it does that though, it looks pretty cool

I love the day and night changes on the perspective map.
No light was shining on it. I even tried to put my finger over it to test it. No effect. However, when I use split screen and have the map on the right side, it shows night time while the map on the left side shows daytime. Having no split screen gets the map to show daytime too. |

I must have the same issue as I've never seen it on night view.

I checked the manual last night too, it doesn't really go into the feature in any depth whatsoever.

Maybe its a software issue. I have the setting in Automatic. I can set split screen and have maps displayed on both screens in perspective view. At night time, the left map will show a daytime sky and the right map will show a night time sky. If I turn off split screen, then the map shows daytime sky. I even tried to change the setting to Night, and the left side map or non-splitscreen map still shows daytime sky.

No, it hasn't been near the dealer since I picked it up in March.

Software upgrades not just for the maps but also the rest of the car.

So far I had two software upgrades since I picked up the car at the beginning of June and getting another one done today. The last one I got (maybe 3 weeks ago) was primarily for map updates, but they updated the entire car with new software (had to leave the car overnight for them to finish it). The dealership is only about a 10 min drive from my place so it's no big deal for me to leave the car with them. They always provide me with a loaner. I don't have any issues with my car but since I had the car in the shop to get the trunk chrome strip replaced with the one that has the 'BMW individual' inscription on it, they asked me if I would mind if they performed a software update on the car? Just got a call from them. They told me that they are going to do the software upgrade over night (apparently this takes a few hours). Since they gave me a loaner, it's not a big deal, so I'll go and pick up the car tomorrow.

Maybe it has something to do with the map software version you have loaded or maybe it's a combination of settings. I keep my map in full screen view (no split screen) with the 'map direction of travel' view most of the time. Sometimes I switch it into perspective mode, but for the times when it changes into night mode, I always had it in the map direction of travel mode. It could be related to the options you have enabled or disabled... What view and/or features do you have enabled/disabled on your NAV system?

I have it on full screen perspective mode. It will not change to night view even if I go into the settings and choose "Night" or "Automatic". I can only get night view if I split screen and put the map on the right side.

I FINALLY figured it out. Got the software update done last night, and it still had the same problem.
So played with it all day today, and I had the "Traffic Info Map" option enabled. I unchecked it, and voila, it works like a charm. THANK GOODNESS! It was bugging me like crazy, but now the pain is over Btw, the software update added some new stuff to on the HUD, etc. Funny thing, I have an "effecient dynamics" logo and a battery meter next to my fuel consumption gauge. I'm pretty sure they got that wrong somehow. Will just leave it as is for now. I need to enjoy the car. 21" wheels are on too..will take pics tomorrow. |
