The system rembers where you were on each of the four main menu headings. Just hold the controller in the required direction for a few seconds and you're back on the same screen you left that section on. ie. holding controller to the right for 3 seconds switches the map display rather than the nav menu, if you previously had a map displayed.
Yes iDrive could be a bit more intuitive, and does not have some of the bells and whiltles of recent handheld nav units, however as a nav device it works very well, the display is excellent, it does not need to be assembled each time it is used, and has dead reconing which impoves the accuracy of the cars idea of its position/direction.
