Bmw has the worst Navi

Why does Bmw's Navigation system suck soo damn much???

Zirenz2006 · 12-22-2007, 09:03 PM

I love their NAV

Bobby_Light · 12-22-2007, 09:08 PM

I am liking it thus far. Inputing the address may be a bit tedious as is finding POIs, but the actual directions are solid and the voice prompts are well timed.

I have Nav in all 3 cars and by far, the Honda with touch screen Nav is the best.

BMW's is better than the MBZ, with the frigging thing you can't even enter the EXACT address. Just whole block numbers.

What other nav's have you used that your comparing this to? Whats the problem?

Im sorry, but a thread about "Why does BMW navi suck so much da hu hu hu hahaha"

doesnt do anything.

Why dont you be a little more specific

magmd · 12-23-2007, 01:34 AM

You get used to it, eventually.

I don't mind it so much now....still slow though.

choiffer · 12-23-2007, 01:45 AM

I agree that BMW navi sucks lol. Shittiest navi i've ever used. Out of 2004 honda accord, 07 Lexus rx350, 07 Mercedes S550, 06 g35 coupe.

wj4 · 12-23-2007, 01:53 AM

I agree, but it does work when I need it to, albeit it's pretty slow. The best navi that I've ever use was on a Honda.

Because you don't know how to use it.

I agree, the little I've played with it left me very underwhelmed. The units in Honda cars are much better.

The integrated features are nice, but as a pure Nav, BMW is way behind.

I'm waiting to get my display hood so I can get cracking on a car PC / aftermarket builtin navi.

I really don't understand some members like this guy. The OP made some innocuous statement, based on his perspective, and why did someone have to go and get personal???

Thomasz126 · 12-23-2007, 11:16 PM

Compared to the new 2008 Lexus GS350 AWD, the navi in my 335i is a joke.

Thomasz126 · 12-23-2007, 11:17 PM

Sorry but my girlfriend just purchased the car, and the Navi is amazing!!!
However, I am still in love with my v2 335i.

azeemtn · 12-24-2007, 01:15 AM

My wife's 2007 Accord's Navi sucks in my opinion.
Not sure what you guys like about them. They are slow to react, usually take the longer way around, and gets easily confused with multiple exits in close proximity.

jpsimon · 12-24-2007, 02:00 AM

whats wrong with the bmw nav? it's worked great for me

zamboni · 12-24-2007, 02:29 AM

BMW did not made the best nav compare to other MFG you bought the car because of the way it drives and perform, if you are not happy with the feature don't get the nav.

msimon18 · 12-24-2007, 11:08 AM

BMW Navi is a REAL JOKE compared to any other top end (or lower end for that matter !) car. I have had the 335i E93 for 6 months now and the Navi directions have NEVER gotten to a destination CLEANLY. By clean I mean without a single mistake.

I also have a 2004 RX330 that has been perfect in 4 years... and much easier / user friendly and a Nuvi 350 that I use when travelling with rental cars that has also been near flawless and much mor euser friendly.
