Welcome to BMW navigation.. where 8 year old GPS technology is offered at a premium price of 10x that of Garmin... Ohh and don't expect Text To speech, searchable POIs, Speed Cameras, Selecting more than 1 POI category for display, decent map graphics or anything that a $200 Nav unit can do!

Why oh why can't these car manufacturers get TomTom/Garmin to build their Nav units? Then we could have some decent features and regular software upgrades! BMW hasn't offered any new features in their software for several years now!

As nice as it is to have it integrated into the car we are being ripped off blind with what we are getting.
