What are the 'Diamond symbols' on my nav route?

Post by MattyP »

Hi all.

I've just changed my phone and have gone to the trouble of uploading a selection of maps to the BMW Connect app. I've just been out for a ride today and put a destination postcode in the search box but when the map appears on the screen it has a selection of coloured 'diamond shaped' symbols peppered over the route! These are about 1cm square, coloured maroon / brown and have a number in the middle of the diamond such as 4' or 2' or 6' etc. Does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them? I used the app with my previous phone and never seen them before.

Please help.

Matt

I have the same issue. I recently got a new phone (Pixel 9) and notice those strange diamond shaped icons appearing on my nav route. Have you ever determined their meaning?

I've always taken them as traffic delays along the route your taking, with the number being how many minutes delay. Could be wrong though 🤔
