My Ride: 530i 6 speed
I partially agree with you. I did this test a couple of weeks ago in DC. I had a Garmin IQue 3600 PDA with in my car and its rerouting was MUCH faster and smarter.
But in general the BMW system does a decent job.

I rarely have the problem that you had, Derrick, but I do yearn for the ability to program interim waypoints. Also, I really miss the Garmin software ability to plan routes on a PC, especially the really long ones.

Well while we are on the subject,? here's an improvement that we could use:
Search Information in Alphabetical order.? So you want to find Ruths Chris.? You type in the city or the zipcode as a destination and then search for restaurants.? ? At this point it would be nice if you could search through just the 'R's instead of every restaurant ranked by distance from god knows where.

JDN's right, waypoints would be another welcome addition. Also, my Honda has a PIN protected "home" entry in the address book (or optionally, a PIN protected address book, I think) which is always a good idea...

Thank you all for you input, by the responses, mine is probably working right, but I still don't think get the wrong turn instructions it gave me right by my house. I appreciate it.

dont worry its not just your ?2000 bmw system that does my ?250 navman does this as well sends you on some weird routes at times and if u miss a turn it always wants u to do a u turn until it can figure some other route out, i guess all nav sytems sought of work the same way.

Audi is in the process of integrating the SAT traffic reports and NAV into one package. The rerouting would be based on the traffic reports.
Wasn't that a planned feature for BMW?

Just about every satellite navigation system will dynamically re-route if it determines that you've missed a turn or chosen an alternate route yourself. It will always attempt to come up with the best route from where your current position is.
Now if you're talking about dynamic re-routing due to current traffic conditions, that isn't currently available on our cars. You can manually request an alternate (detour) route by telling the car how many miles you would like to detour by and it will attempt to find a new route based on that criteria. It's not the best solution but it saved me a few hours last week when I was sitting in a traffic jam on a highway. I asked for a new route and it helped me avoid most of the problem...
