On a similar note, based on recent press articles, it seems BMW is undecided about what to do with IOS In the Car.

I understand the business and design challenges that IOS in the Car present to a car manufacturer, but here's another potentially inflammatory opinion

I don't find iDrive navigation (maps) particularly good, especially the so-so perspective mode. I would much rather use either the built-in IOS maps navigation (much improved since the disastrous launch) or Google Maps navigation, or even Navigon, but on the larger car screen.

Am I the only person who finds the navigation tools available to me on my smartphone superior to what's built into the car? Plus I don't get charged $300 for a set of map updates.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years.
