We have the 2013 version in our Silverado,. I have a love/hate relationship with it. As someone else said, first thing is you need to turn the voice off. Next, when pulling the 5er I've figured out that you always need to select the 'fastest' route and then watch the actual map and choose to take whatever route you prefer and the navigator will continually reanalyze so that you can choose to follow it when you want. If you choose the 'shortest' route it's sent me on some weird small roads to save a couple hundred yards.
Also you need to look ahead because it has sent me down a couple rabbit-holes (although that might have been before I started religiously choosing 'fastest').
I like it, but it's not fool-proof so I try to always look ahead to make sure it's not doing something stupid.
Worst thing about it is it's aging (my 2013 is really probably 2012 vintage) and updates are ~$300 - THAT'S CRAZY, hence I'm not updating it. When it's old enough I'll buy a ~$100 garmin or something with free lifetime updates!
