Navigation questions

How does Perspective Map choose what streets to display?

Can traffic info be displayed without setting a destination? I tried to get it while just driving and it said "No traffic Bulletins".

The owner's manual is not elaborate at all when it comes to the description of any system in the car.

Thanks.

Garage List
The new navigation system falls woefully short of listing street names. While a few are shown, most are shown only as unnamed streets. This is the same in the normal or perspective views. In my '06 750, all street names were shown in the close up view (one mile or less -- even the directions of one way streets). Traffic info should show up regardless of whether you are in a guidance mode. Just click the traffic info icon on the left of your screen and if there are any, they ought to show up. If you never get them, there's a glitch in your software.
