2010 iDrive navigation wants me to get off at every exit!

saeedg48 · 03-09-2010, 01:04 AM

08 iDrive ftw. I have a Nuvi portable system and that slutty nav' doesn't know LA for shit.
Takes me in loops for hours.

go to your idrive nav screen and tell me the version that you have. there is a small update for the last buggy version (ie night driving maps, traffic, poi, etc)

Open the drivers door and the production date is on the black decal. The date is printed on the right side of the second line. It will say something like 10/09.

koxal · 03-16-2010, 12:22 PM

production date is 11/09.

Pretty much new

hi flash, do you have any news.?

Slpnbyu · 04-06-2010, 12:36 PM

I have seen similar issues in the DC area. The nav in my E46 M3 never acknowledged that I-66 inside the beltway existed. That stretch of I-66 is time restricted (the whole road in one direction) twice a day.

The Audi Nav recognizes it and includes an option to "Avoid Time Restricted Roads". When this is unchecked it will include the road if needed.

I am curious to see if BMW has addressed this in the 2011 model. Navteq told me it is not their maps, rather how the vehicle interprets the maps. I have to believe that because my Audi and E46 M3 both used Navteq map data.

It's really annoying when an entrie stretch of a major highway is completely ignored.

koxal · 06-26-2010, 05:19 PM

any news on that??

Ryan(e92) · 06-26-2010, 06:50 PM

Well I live on the other side of the country and my 11 did it to me twice last week.

deathwish · 07-03-2010, 09:07 AM

I get a similar thing with my 2010 335d idrive but it is not every exit. I have noticed it on one exit on the NYS throughway. but not every exit.
delaers tend to not be very helpful unless BMWNA tells them that there is a problem.

koxal · 08-03-2011, 03:59 PM

any news on that?

my navi still wants me to get off at every exit on NJ Turnpike?

for example, i am at exit 13 and my destination is at exit 6 on nj turnpike. gps tells me to get off at every exits between 13 and 6. the weird thing is, it then puts me back to turnpike right after every exit.

Must be the jug handles. I know not funny......

Have you tried switching between the "Fast Route", "Efficient Route", and "Short Route"?
