With BMW Operating System 8, the digital services for navigation, parking and charging are fully integrated into the cloud-based system BMW Maps in a user-oriented manner. The cloud also contains additional contextual information on points of interest, such as ratings, opening hours and images. The BMW Cloud not only integrates real-time data, but also uses machine learning algorithms that calculate probabilistic models for the occurrence of certain traffic phenomena based on long-term data series.


The data basis for this is the HERE map, enriched with the collected knowledge of the swarm intelligence of the entire networked BMW Group fleet of over 14 million vehicles worldwide. The cloud-based system makes route calculation significantly faster and also more dynamic by combining real-time information with forecasting models. The BMW Maps navigation system was rolled out in 2020 for vehicles with BMW Operating System 7.
