Horrible navigation out of Greensboro, NC

I was so frustrated with the 30+ miles of dismal roads that the nav put me on early this morning getting out of Greensboro headed to Spartanburg that I purchased a print atlas.

I checked everything on Google Maps last night but didn't remember enough to override where the nav was taking me in the darkness with rush-hour traffic.

I selected the "fastest" route but I am getting something like the shortest route regardless of the roads. In this case that meant surface streets and highways rather than interstates.

Similar things have been happening to my BMW Nav, thats why I am driving now 99% with Waze on my phone.
Noticing on how bad BMW nav routing is becoming even when I'm heading the correct way it adapts but then wants to throw me to a different exit.

When I read on the BMW web that our maps are auto-updated, I wondered what this would mean in real-world driving. So now the answer is clear that the NAVTEQ maps in my 2008 X5 are at times more accurate than the maps in my 2015 X5.
