I suck at iDrive nav

How in the hell do you find a business by name? If I wanted to search on Joe's Chevy dealer, I'm at a loss. I found bmw dealers, but not other service shops. There is even a section on cars -> services but I dont see anything there that would be correlated to dealers.

Can I just blindly search on a name of a business somewhere?

What is this "on location" verbiage mean?! What location?! My current one?

Please no

comments. My car didn't come with one; I'm waiting for it to be sent to me.

do you have an 08 or 09? i don't think you can search by name on the 08 model.

You can't search for just the name straight off the bat, you need to know what kind of place it is... for example, a Home Depot may be, Shopping --> Hardware Store --> Search By Name

Alternatively, sometimes the one you are looking for maybe under Flooring and Carpet. Its really weird how its all categorized. On Location means you can choose the City you want it to search closest too... On Destination is for if you are en route somewhere and want to find a business near your destination. I hope that helps!
