Two of my favourite brands have teamed up. This does sound pretty intuitive, but no one had done this yet. For instance, BMW and Mercedes, have had on-star kind-of systems for ages. BMW even has an auto diagnostic system that transmits the system status of the car to the garage through satellite, so that the technician may arrive the right part, and fix it for you.
So this does not come as big as a surprise, that Google and BMW have teamed up to sync up googlemaps with the direction finder system in BMW cars, so that accurate directions can be linked from google maps to the car, and the car can assist you to get to your destination easier.
