Love the voice command navigation!

Yesterday i just realized that the voice input for addresses in idrive is stupidly good. ive always complained that car navs never just let you speak the address in plain english in one sentence and have it find the address..

you typically have to say "state", wait on prompt, select if needed, "city" wait on prompt, select if needed , "street" etc "house#" etc etc.... just makes things so annoying. Its fantastic that I can just say "enter new address" then "3 1 spooner street quahog rhode island" and it will know what im talking about.

i was happy enough that i could manually enter the address with idrive while driving!

Really? Because, I remember when my CA was showing me the nav features, the voice integration had something left to be desired. Must have tried 5 times and not once did the nav recognize my home address. Haven't used it since.

LOL man, there is no way I would drive a BMW in Bdesh. I can't justify spending money on a BMW + 400% tax while constantly trying to avoid rickshaws and other drivers. Maybe in 6 years, once I get my professional degree and rich as fuck, will I drive a BMW in Bdesh.

Nah I live in New York man..I'm from Bangladesh and go there every winter.

I know it's totally fucked up. But it's a necessity. Bdesh is a small country and one of the most densely populated at that. Right now there's too many cars that Bdesh roads can handle thus, the only way the government can control how many cars are on the road is by taxing at insane prices. Not that it doesn't really do any good..considering how fucking corrupt the government as of late. The tax money doesn't even go anywhere.
