Sometimes it feels like NY to FL via California, or Munich to London via Madrid - you get the picture... 
At times I feel cheated by the poor quality of the BMW sat nav guidance algorithm. The system looks nice and fancy but the quality of directions is less than appropriate for what we pay. I never had this problem with my Garmin before. I could go back to that, but it defeats the purpose...
Are there any software updates to improve the algorithm? 
Does anyone have any comments? |
I get this on a regular basis. I would be traveling on a street and my destination would be a block away on the same street. Instead of telling me to go straight, the system would tell me to make a right turn a block before, then a left turn, then another left turn. I think the nav does not really know which direction the traffic is going on a particular street, so it creates detours.
