hi im in the throws of obtaining a rt1250 2021
does anybody know if the sat nav has to be run of your own phone or is there a nav built in to the screen
 
I thought that they would normally come with a Nav6.
 
this is gonna be crap if you have to use your phone for instance i do a lot of route planning this will prove a bit difficult to down load all maps onto my phone whereas zumo 6 im using just make routes up down load onto gps job done.
 
You can download GPX file routes on to the app, it’s fairly easy.

Also maps are easy to download.

It’s not a brilliant system and connection issues are common.
As a back-up I’ve plumbed in an old Zumo 550.
 
Have a look at 1200rt.com loads of threads about the tft and other rt bits there. There is also a lot on the BMW luxury touring forum under the rt section
 
Although BMW say they are "working tirelessly" to resolve the connection issues - software update due September-ish (another 3-4 hours in the workshop) - even when working properly the system has its limitations. I'm another owner who has fitted a Zumo XT mount to use when I need a "proper" satnav. Kind of defeats the object of this major selling point though........
