My BMW Navigator VI is possessed

Yes, I saw the video and feel your pain. If you are like me, the integration with the jog wheel and the telemetrics is worth the hassle. I don't like to rely on my phone for the GPS, even if the maps are offline. Let the phone do its thing and let the Navigator do its thing, is my approach.

As long as they keep replacing them under warranty and doing so promptly, then the main hassle is the inconvenience in time when you're without a unit and all the settings you have to make when the new one comes.

Exactly. They've already responded with a query as to whether there were extreme temps (there weren't) or altitude changes (again, there weren't).

I use my GPS a lot for accurate speed as well as knowing what the speed limit is where I am. I find Garmin's POIs pretty much useless, and I use Yelp on my phone for that. But I do use it for routing as well as timing for arrival and such.

Definitely like the jog wheel integration
