incorrect turn info in Navigation

Hi guys,

I recently replaced my X3 for a G20. The navigation on my G20 very often shows wrong or confusing turn information, issues that I did not face on the X3. For example, it gets confused with roundabouts and asks me to take a half left as I approach the round about. It says 4th exit instead of second exit (straight). On one round about it even said 6th exit. On straight roads it asks me to bear right when I approach a small side road (pls see pic attached). My worst experience was when it tried to make me leave a high way, then do a right turn on another very busy highway, then asked me to do a left to join the original highway, all within probably 200 meters (pls see pic). Have downloaded latest available road map version (2019/2) and the issues continue. Anyone else facing this?

That is bizarre. Haven't seen that behaviour on mine. But the Navi on my M340i does do odd things like randomly go the long way for no reason, or is very insistent that I do a u turn when I'm already on the best and fastest route. . I'm in NZ and the G20 doesn't like Maori street names at all.. can't understand or pronounce them. My F30 340i Navi was more sensible all round..but I do like the G20 graphics on the displays

today I got my BMW maps updated to ANZ 2020 version during servicing. happy to inform that the turn direction issue has been resolved by the update. no more false turn directions (bear right on a straight road) . no more take half left's on roundabouts.
