I am still waiting for my x5 so I can't verify this . I loved the car when I test drove it although I felt that the Navogation was one of its weakest points especially when compared with my touchscreen Honda or Lexus. But I tnink I should be able to get used to it.

The question I have has to with its features. On our Honda or Lexus Once I select a destination and given a route, I can display this route and then select certain streets or freeways and ask the GPS system to "avoid" them. As the result GPS will create a new route that does not include these streets/hways.
AS I understand it, X5 GPS is integrated with the live traffic system where it is available and would automatically reroute me around the congestion area.
BUt is there a way for me to manually tell it to avoid certain streets/hways? My salesman told me that he did not think it were possible. And yet it seems like such a useful feature.
Has anyone found a way of doing this ?
