Pants BMW IDrive sat nav: a pols if covered many time before

[kurt535]

Hi, am getting to grips with an '09 BMW sat nav system. It's beaten hands down by my little £120 portable garmin GPS but....can anyone direct me to either a thread/website/cd upload I can get that will then let me input a whole postcode before frustration gets to me?!!

ok..conflicting experiences here...not looking good for my 2009 gig by the sounds of it. When i purchased the car, the dealer alleged it didn't need any sat nav upgrades but then they said it didn't need an oil service either which it warned me it did after only 600 miles of use ......

OK

Journey today using the sat nav was a nightmare. trying to work out the messages it gives me when issues are ahead seem really difficult to work out what the hell i should be doing.

i can only hope the F11 IDrive sat nav is Garmin instead of Philips which is just pants!! I'm going back to using my little portable Garmin. progress of sorts !!
