I have just ordered a MCS & am getting the Sat Nav.

On the test drie, I was unable to see the arrival time & distance to destination on the map screen. It is possible to see on the trip computer, but it is a pain to have to swap screens to see this. Is it possible to see this info on the map?

If not, we all need to Email MINI to get them to do a firmware update to allow this, as it is really useful info! Never had a Sat Nav system without it - including the original MINI!

Thanks

You need to set the map to spilt screen in the settings menu. You'll then get the map plus road diagrams and the distance and time remaining.

From the sound of things you had it on full screen.

Thanks Jonsey - is this on the 2nd generation MINI?

Jonesy · Dec 31st, 2006, 07:05 PM

Sorry, that was for the mark 1. I picked up your thread off an RSS feed so didn't realise it was for the R56. I would have thought that it would have a similar setting.

I was looking for this setting when I had one for the afternoon and I couldn't find it, so not sure it does

Well, I can't find an option for spilt screen, but it's a bit of trial and error at the moment as my dealer supplied the non-sat nav handbook

Ive got the book with the navigation section, but cant find this option

nat · Jan 3rd, 2007, 11:00 PM

I had a long play today in one & there is no split screen function.

Really disappointed with the new sat nav - worse than the origional CD based one IMHO. Am leaning towards a TomTom 910 at present

d9hug · Feb 8th, 2007, 10:52 AM

I cannot find the option either - X5world has firmware v28 available - does anyone know if these are compatible with the R56?

Maaij · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:09 AM

In the MINI folder they say is does have splitscreen function.

would you like to tell us where in there, what page or even better how to get this option on the new R56 sat nav, as I've still nto found a way to do it.

Maaij · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:14 AM

I have the NL (Netherlands) MINI folder (not the handbook).

On page 74 is says:
MINI Navigation system with 16:9 screen, Voice control, maps and it has a split screen function.

I order a MCS R56 with nav but I have to wait till end of March.

Maaij · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:20 AM

Nope. Is only a info folder.
I will make a pic. Be right back

Rakey · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:21 AM

I dont have any other info. I think its normal to have a split screen function with distace, time left till destination and time of destination. I dont believe the MINI navigations doest support this.

its normal on the old nav system in the R53, but not on the R56, and its the biggest let down on the system TBH

d9hug · Feb 8th, 2007, 11:44 AM

Just been through my manual but there is no mention of split screen :-(

Slightly off thread but does anyone now what dunamic route actually does - again I cannot find any mention in the manual.

I think someone mentioned that it determines it's route using the TMC traffic data and automatically reroutes accordingly.
