BMW Navigation- It’s classy and this is the best UI for HUD. I use it always for long distance and when I am in the mountains and woods when there is no cellphone network. Works like a charm.

Here is an example of how navigation looks on Heads-Up-Display (HUD).
Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. BMW Navigation.
Apple Maps- Look at how clean is the HUD display with speed limit and directions on top of line bar.
Google Maps- Sometimes just a line appears of HUD and sometimes it says ” Calculating route” the whole time. This makes me believe that BMW does not support full navigation UI for google. Is your’s different?

Btw, that car is same as yours except it’s an “e”.
Here’s what BHPian Foxbat had to add to this:
Thanks for the detailed analysis and pictures. When using Google maps the HUD shows directions similar to (if not same) as the one for Apple maps in your picture. On roads with two or more lanes it also shows which lane you should be in to take turns along with voice guidance while using Google Maps. My car has iDrive 8.5 Operating System.
