Nav Upgrade
Does anyone offer a Nav Upgrade that offers normal 2016 (!!) features, like saying the name of the street your suppose to turn onto, etc.?
After 45+ years of driving BMWs, sometimes I just don't understand BMW's decisions, like this one...why not put the updated nav box into the E89 when they're putting it into every other vehicle starting in at least 2014 (probably a lot earlier)??? Personally, I think the fact that they didn't bother to update many of the systems on the Z4 (Nav, Cameras, Blutooth, IDrive options, etc.) is one of the major reasons Z4 sales declined. MB updates the SLK/SLC EVERY year...it still drives poorly, but at least the amenities are reasonably up to date. RANT OVER.

Just my 2 cents, but I prefer the navigation offered by my iPhone. At least I know I will always have the latest software and features as I tend to get a new phone pretty often. I can’t tell you how many times built in navigation and phone features have gone obsolete on my various cars over the years. My other BMW is a 2018 model and even though it came with navigation, I tend to prefer using Google Maps 99% of the time.

Meh - I ordered a NAV update from a third party for both my '09 Z4 and '15 X3. Easy install and up-to-date map. Mostly I only care about it showing me the way and never use the voice nav. Works fine. When in an absolutely new area, Google Maps is best anyway.
