Navigation Command

Not sure if anyone else is running into this recently with their iDrive but when I ask 'Drive me to (insert restaurant/store name)', it no longer recognizes certain places. It used to understand more 'complex' words such as foreign restaurant names, but iDrive just ignores the command and doesn't make a suggestion. It's odd since I've had the car since February and only recently has it stopped understanding these words. Anyone else running into this? Maybe an update was made OTA?

Noticed this too. Speaking "Rhode Medical Group" just bounces back to the home screen, while Bok Choy Chinese Restaurant works.

I am having the same issue. It was flawless before but now bounces back and acts like I didn’t say anything. If I go to nav and “where to” and then hit the mic it works...pretty lame.

I tried it again yesterday and I think it's back to normal, sort of. Hopefully it sticks! I found this function very useful when driving. To go back to manually inputting the information while driving is very distracting. I think this is one of my favorite car features since it's not as distracting as inputting the information on the system.

Same issue. The "Hey BMW" personal assistant has gotten dumber recently.

I used to say "Take me to...[wherever]" and it always worked. Now it bounces back to the home screen unless I say "Navigate to..."

Having the same issues and talked about this to the dealer including the genius. According, this is how it is supposed to work. Only strict commands work and navigation should use the address input option instead of the quick search for voice recognition.

I do not agree.
