I have to admit I was expecting more. My 2012 F10 NAV is about a user friendly as the NAV in my 2006 Mercedes. 6 years is a lifetime in electronics, but not when it comes to german cars.
My NAV complaints:
Maps are very poor. I am asked to make right turns where they dont exist. This is on roads that have been around for decades. Someone in the DC are can validate this by driving on Canal Rd, headed out of Georgetown
Home positions are way off
Traffic function is useless. Shows me traffic on the map, but wont suggest better routes (Am I missing something??)
Points of Interest function is a joke. I was looking for a very old and popular restaurant and the damn thing found it in Florida. I am in DC.
Guidance uses some crazy algorithm and takes me the long way usually
There are many more that I dont care to remember
Unfortunately, in the F10, the NAV is a necessary evil so we will just have to live with it. But I always wonder why BMW cannot work with Tom Tom or someone really good to work this out?!?!
