Supposedly, the iDrive professional revision improves some of these but TBD.

The Audi actually is an OEM sat nav that uses a 3G connection and has Google Maps as the Navi so it's as up to date as Google maps. It also caches Google Earth images for it's 3D view.

There are ergonomic benefits of integrated Navi over phone such as the Nav information being displayed in the HUD and instrument cluster. But to each his/her own. YMMV
