i think the nav is easy to use. I just played around with it for abouit 30 mins and figured everything out. The one thing I don't like about it is the position the nav screen is in. When its sunny outside, you literally can't see the screen.

I think the Nav is very easy to use. It literally took me minutes to figure it out. My dealer let me take the X for a solo test drive and by the time I returned, I had the Nav system figured out. As far as upgrades, my service advisor and my tech are really cool. I get all the latest downloads for nothing. IMO, anyone that can't figure out the Nav system in a
X5, deserves to get lost!!!

"As mentioned, everything described here comes as standard equipment, including the navigation system with voice recognition, which features a large 8-inch screen. The all-new AcuraLink satellite communications system delivers in-car traffic information in real time for major cities. LA has the most mature infrastructure to support this, and it's an impressive feature that could make commuting easier by helping drivers avoid heavily congested areas. Traffic flow is shown by color coding the highways in three levels (flying, normal and forget about it). Unlike radio reports, which just hit the highlights and don't provide detailed instructions for getting around tangles, this system uses data from the highway departments and technology developed by XM Satellite Radio to give the RL driver the level of detail needed to change routes on the fly. The RL is on the leading edge of this technology, and it may prove to be well worth taking the time to fully master this navigation aid." |

I think Nissan, Acura and Honda all have much better nav than BMW. It seems like the new BMW Nav were made 10 years ago! I have a nav on my e46 and it's such a pain inputting addresses. Also, the other Navs let you look forward, pan around, and see the next step while you are waiting at a light, etc. Oh.. and lets not forget the voice recognition.. I wonder why BMW fell behind with this technology..?

It's not about figuring it out. Any idiot with 5 minutes and the ability to turn a knob will figure it out. What i'm saying is that the way BMW has it setup sub-optimal. To catch up with the competition, they need to:
- add touch interface - pop up keyboard to type in "MAIN ST." instead of scrolling with the damn wheel - Add a better perspective mode like everyone else - Add joystick so while you're driving, you can pan ahead to the next step, or look around these things will let bmw catch up with just about every other nav system.. in order to pass the OEM competition, they need to extract traffic info from XM (like the pioneer deck, and lexus nav). |
