BMW Maps with Driver Assistance combines navigation and driver assistance information in a single 3D view.

• Combines route guidance, vehicle surroundings, and driver assistance information on the central display.
• The integration helps drivers understand navigation and active assistance functions in complex traffic situations.
• Beginning in November 2026 for BMW vehicles equipped with BMW Operating System X.

Woodcliff Lake – October 20, 2026… Starting in November 2026, the BMW Group will introduce BMW Maps with Driver Assistance[1] for BMW vehicles equipped with the BMW Operating System X. The feature combines route guidance, the vehicle’s surroundings, and driver assistance information into a single 3D view on the central display. This allows drivers to see not only the next navigation step, but also how the vehicle perceives its surroundings and which assistance functions are supporting the task of driving.

The display shows the vehicle’s precise position within its lane and at the correct road level, helping drivers navigate highways, intersections, and city traffic. It also helps drivers understand how assisted and semi-automated driving functions relate to the current driving situation.

How the display supports driver assistance.

BMW Maps with Driver Assistance displays information about active driver assistance functions, such as Highway Assistant. Highway Assistant enables hands-free driving on highways at speeds of up to 85 mph. It controls both speed and steering and supports automated lane changes after the driver confirms with a glance. With active route guidance via BMW Maps, Highway Assistant provides support from the highway on-ramp all the way to the exit.

“An important step toward highly automated driving is the intelligent interaction between navigation and driver assistance. BMW Maps with Driver Assistance[2] shows drivers how route guidance, environmental perception, and assistance functions work together. This provides better orientation when driver assistance is active—developed by the BMW Group in collaboration with Mapbox,” says Stephan Durach, Senior Vice President of Digital Services, Infotainment, and Connected Company at the BMW Group.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the BMW Group to be the first to bring this nextgeneration

navigation experience to market. Drivers can see exactly which lane they need to be in and everything happening around the vehicle. All of this is brought together in a seamless view – making every trip easier so drivers can enjoy the ride and never miss a turn again,” says Peter Sirota, CEO of Mapbox.

The integrated display in BMW Maps is based on the new generation of driver assistance systems working in conjunction with the BMW Operating System X. BMW Maps with Driver Assistance¹ is developed in-house by the BMW Group and utilizes navigation data and map technology from its partner, Mapbox. The combination of navigation, 3D map display, and driver assistance makes BMW Maps a key differentiator in intelligent vehicle guidance across

international markets.
