Google Maps + Connected Drive = Amazing

Awhile back I posted about issues my folks were having with poor driving directions from BMW's latest TeleNav update in their 335i. My parents don't trust the built in navigation and will use a Garmin or their Android phone for directions. Yesterday while updating my BMW billing information online I read about the full capabilities of Connected Drive and wanted to try the Google Maps feature. After finding the problem addresses on Google, I sent them to my parents' car and asked them to try it out. Low and behold the turn by turn directions were spot on! If these directions weren't correct, my mother would've sent me to get neutered like that poor Boxer in the commercial.

Another win for Google Maps & Connected Drive!!
