...because God forbid BMW design the thing like a normal GPS where you could simply do: Search -> shopping -> "Blockbuster" and have it show you all the Blockbuster's around you. Yay Garmin!

Man.. I wish there was a general "search" where one can search by typing a keyword and searching from ALL of the store list the navigation actually has.

There are SOOOO many stores that I can't find unless i know the address... this Nav is kind of useless if I suddenly decided to go somewhere.

It would definitely be nice to search for a place instead of going through all the subdirectories of where do you want to go to. That is the only major flaw I see with my Nav but I have gotten used to it.

Little known fact:

You can actually text google- Text to GOOGL which is 46645 and then put in what you want to find (Blockbuster) then put in your zip code. Google will reply in less than a minute and give you all the blockbusters in the area with their addresses and phone numbers. You can then call them and find directions!

Remember that little tidbit. I always forget about it, but its fun to mess around with. Try it now, I promise I'm not bs'n you!
