Not as farfetched as you think. It's the exact reason why Toyota had not implemented Apple Carplay or Android Auto. They recently came to an agreement with Apple, but not Google.

Maybe it's because I'm living in Hawaii where a lot of the addresses are ##-### format. iDrive cant seem to translate the street number and street name when pulling it from my phone. So instead it just direct me directly to the middle of the city.

Otherwise, I have no issue when manually entering the address from within the car itself except that the maps aren't up-to-date on where the entrance of many destination.

The red star is the correct destination for the entrance of the movie theater i was trying to get to. iDrive routed me to the blue star which would had led me to a path that would require me to make a u turn and some unnecessary driving.

the maps to me just so half ass to me
