The new BMW navigation update is so bad my father went out and purchased a Garmin at a Best Buy during his visit. I also loaded Waze and Google Maps on their phone as a backup.

My folks are pissed and have already contacted BMWNA and their credit card company to rescind the charges for the update. If you're considering installing these maps, please reconsider! It's a waste of time and $$!
That's what's up cuz I was surely thinking bout updating;( Not any more thx for the heads up....my only question to u is, is that the only map update at this time????
