Welcome to the dino club.
I really dislike most GPS/NAV systems in that they provide a kite-flying-behind-the-car point of view, and you can really only relate to the next turn, not three turns ahead.

I want a MAP view, with North up, with an option for keeping the car centered.
The Garmin devices have a map view, but your car will drive off the map, and it takes multiple key presses to recenter.

Can BMWs map system do a proper map view, or are you limited to the non-map turn-direction interface?
