Default PCM Navigation Issue

Does anyone know if there is a way to download a google map routing from a laptop to the PCM Navigation system?
Thanks guys

Not sure; I just run Waze on my phone, which I've got mounted in a Kenu airframe just to the right of the PCM display. I find that Waze is much more useful than the hardwired nav system.

That would be nice as the PCM is kind of quirky. With Bluetooth, google map will play the turn by turn through the PCM speakers

I don't believe so. Too bad, I loved using the "send to car" feature with my last BMW.

+1. Loved google's "send to car" feature along with BMW phone app that I was able to send an address to my car.

The "AHA" radio app can do this if I remember correctly. It also gives you the ability to goggle search for things like restaurants and other POIs and then have your PCM map it out. The only downside is that for iPhone you have to have it physically (cable) connected to the car which is a PITA if you are running an iPod already. Android and Samsung can do it via BT. Look in your PCM manual for more details!

Spent some time today with the PCM manual and the aha materials and, sadly, that system will not accomplish the task.
And so it goes.
