This in it self makes the maps much more valuable as it is updated frequently. In addition, it takes in my robust traffic and crowd share data than the native BMW system.

Agree 100%, and I appreciate the ability to go back and forth, use multiple map apps, etc.
Perfect example: On my last road trip, BMW/iDrive had me at 5 hours drive time, because of traffic on the interstates. Waze got that down to 4 hours because it was able to route me around the traffic using local/state highways.
I will probably use iDrive 90% of the time because of the better integration with instrument cluster, HUD, etc... but it's great to be able to use the others whenever I want.
