The navigation does suck. The one in my Range Rover is vastly superior for this reason. You can enter in the first few letters of a store or business and it will find it for you.

Is the Rangie still using the Carin based unit? That's what used to be in the Rangie and what you find in the E53 and E39.

BMW encourages voice command.
It's amazing how detailed VC can be. Just say the first few letters of the city then say something like mcdonalds~ Try it, it works.
tried...it doesnt...

Just like I said.... There is no "Search by POI name" in iDrive NAV.

End of story.
