X5 Navigation System Guidance Quality

Is it just me or there are other owners mad at their sat navs as you get directions to drive in zig-zags as opposed to a straight line?

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?
