Navigation in Long Island

ERIC212NYC · 01-04-2010, 02:22 PM

Hey everyone,

Whenever I need to go to a store in Long Island and it is located on Jericho Turnpike. My I-drive never gives me the option to enter the building number. I can find the town just fine but does me no good since Jericho Turnpike goes so far east and west. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. Or if there is a way around this problem? 2009 LCI I-drive system.

Thanks!

I get that here in NJ. Its pretty frustrating.

Does Jericho turnpike have a different name in sections? For example, I can look for US-27 or Lincoln Highway.

Yep, I think it is also known as Route 25. I might have to give that a shot.

It is freaking frustrating when I need to print out google directions as well.

its simple the I-drive sucks compared to other nav system....for instance the infiniti/nissan nav system is 1,000,000 times more quicker, and accurate compared to BMW

I think I should just get the Motorola Droid and use its built in GPS which I heard is pretty sweet. Anyway my 1 year service is coming up soon. Will ask the service tech is there is some type of fix.

Really? The Nissan / Inf one is better than Idrive? I have it in my pathfinder and I thought it was pretty sh*tty.

I know the Honda/ Acura ones are the best.
