Correct. I have had rare issues in Charlotte or elsewhere with my BMW nav systems over the years.
I've seen issues with segmented streets. Like East 6th vs West 6th vs 6th ave, or across county/neighborhood lines, where you pick the wrong segment and it directs you there instead of your intended location. Or the address ranges within blocks on the map data is incorrect for your area. Try entering by a POI, like a restaurant. If accurate its a segment issue, if not its a map data thing.

I love it when I'm stopped at a light and my nav continues to show me moving forward, without regard for roads, mountains or water. Gives me such a reassuring feeling. I haven't had chance to use it for directions, yet.

I have sent in an email to BMWNA describing my experiences with getting led to the wrong addresses. I would encourage others to consider the same so they become aware of the magnitude of the problem.

In older versions of google, the dialog box to send info to the car fit on 1 "page" and you could clearly see the label at the bottom noting that "Only the destination address will be sent". I recently got a new computer at work, and in the newer version of google the is a new drop down menu that appears to let you select whether you want to send the route or just the destination. The inclusion of this new field also pushed the note that "Only the destination address will be sent" off the first "page" of the dialog box which I hadn't noticed until this morning when your post prompted me to go back and look a little more closely.

My only problem with it is that it won't tell you whether the destination is one the left or right. The PMC on my 911 did a much better job.

sounds like a major 2012 mapping data problem.
have you guys been using the CIC in the car prior to the M5? I currently use the CCC, I live in a major metro area, and the map is only outdated for new developments Last edited by mdosu; 03-01-2013 at 02:04 PM.. |

The Nav has also sent me to the wrong place in San Diego after inputting the exact address. The Nav had me on the correct street, but it was about 1-1/2 miles from where I needed to be. I eventually found the right location while the Nav constantly tried to reroute me back to the wrong place. I never had a problem like this with the Nav in my E90 M3.

The navigation system is only as good as the digital maps it is provided. At least with my nav system, I have not had any problems yet within the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Conn). Also, when I did ED using the provided maps on a USB stick, I never experienced getting lost anywhere in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Northern Italy and Southern France.

Going through the same issue with my 2012 xDrive 550i and my parents xDrive 335i. When BMW switched from Navteq to TomTom/TeleAtlas their US maps in some cities weren't up to date or accurate. TeleAtlas heard all the negative feedback from users and created a website so drivers could correct cartographic issues which can be addressed in future updates.
http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/mapfeedback/index.php Report these issues, and they will be fixed. For the time being, just use the new Google Maps or Waze application on your Smart Phone through Bluetooth. I hope this helps, Will

I pulled the battery cable to do a reset, but it didn't help. It's as if my antenna is jacked up. |
