Owners hooked up with BMW ConnectedDrive now have the ability to access real-time traffic information from any internet connected device through the system’s recently launched web portal.

The traffic information – provided by connected taxis and fleet vehicles – is much more accurate than traditional methods, and the new implementation will allow drivers to check traffic conditions before they get behind the wheel. The BMW Routes Portal is available now and will be ported into the My BMW Remote app when it launches this fall.
