Agreed, I've only had my BMW for a few months but from what I've experienced so far Google Maps is better than BMW's maps. Sometimes I just say eff it and use my Android phone with GMaps and use bluetooth audio lol. If BMW would start using the Google Maps API and stop using first party maps their navi would be excellent.
