Google Maps - Waze

Hi,

I have not bothered posting this for some time because I was hoping for an update.

My car uses the Google Map info only if the resolution is set above 1 mile. Thus the google map detail is ABSOLUTELY of NO USE. Below the 1 mile resolution the map view is just the typical cartoon view of the world.

My Audi's(2013 A8L and 2015 Q7) show the Google Map detail at the max resolution so you can actually make use of the image information when determining driving needs. That is when you zoom all the way in to feet instead of miles scale.

Why is the BMW Navigation app cut off at the knees? Is this only in the bargain basement BMW models (i.e. the 2 series) or is it the same for the 7 series etc.

Thanks,

Mike

PS I have had the M2 for a year and love it, but after a year of use and getting well passed the learning curve, I can say in my opinion the navigation software in the Audi's is better. (flame suit on for the haters).
