the google search bar at "home" wouldnt do me any good.

I use BMW assist's concierge service when I need information like that. And, if it requires reservations, I ask that they make them.

so do I, but when travelling it sure is helpful to find the nearest McDonalds for the kids, or the nearest gas station, etc. Much faster than using concierge.

That wasn't my experience with the Acura navigation (speed). (2007 model.) I found that it was often incorrect, or became a game of me guessing what it was that I was supposed to say. Oddly, turning off the engine and re-starting seemed to correct the problem...leading me to believe there were some software glitches.

Of course, the X5 never has software glitches.

And I was comparing a desire of speed to not having a direct correlation to the feature set available in the Acura.
