You need to know how to use it most effectively. What I do, is use the My BMW Remote app on my iphone, find the address I need through the app, which is a google map app, and then email this to my car. 100% accurate, every time.

Alternatively, if I am in my car, I use that app (google maps inside my bmw remote) to pin point the exact address and then enter it manually into the BMW nav or just send it to the car.

I never use "points of interest" in the BMW nav database. Since the app uses google maps and it is drawn from the internet, it is as close as you can get to "now" data.
WRONG. did you see the maps I posted? That is bad routing. Not bad user input.
