Nav - Interesting Routes
I took in my X3 just before a road trip up to Maine from Long Island, NY for its first service. My advisor mentioned that he had a new map update, so I figured what the heck (no cost).
Well, on my way back from ME, I entered my home address and this is the route is determined: Maine to Long Island, NY by way of Quebec? Thanks, dr |

That does really look like it was trying to avoid toll roads based on the route and knowing there are a few toll roads on the most direct route.
Otherwise, maybe the new map has a scenic route option that is turned on, or maybe you asked it to find the nearest place to buy a french man's speedo!

The option to avoid toll roads was definitely not selected. I used the nav to get to Boston without issue. Once I got the car back from the hotel valet, it was a little disoriented. Maybe the tall building were interfering with the signal? Once we were outside of Boston, the nav tried to take me to Quebec to get to Bar Harbor. I just continued on I95 and it eventually corrected itself.
I find the nav to be off when trying to find a specific street address. I've used it to get to friends' houses but it always places me a few houses away. I'll open my map app on the iPhone and it'll lead me to the house without issue. Oh well... Thanks, dr |

Pecker heads at BMW want to charge me for the 2013 map for my 2013 car.... I'll stick a Garmin on my dash to make a point.
