My 2008 got it right this summer when there were huge traffic problems in Atlanta but your post makes me wonder if the current configuration favors only the largest cities in the USA.

My little TomTom app gives very good traffic info on even average size cities and the free app BeatTheTraffic can get it right on remote stretches of freeway like it did for me west of Asheville NC about a year ago.

So does anyone know if the BMW apps allows one to use some of the iPhone apps in any way? I am, admittedly, chasing technology that is important to me.
