The other day we did a short trip south of town and at one point it wanted me to turn left which would have put me in a field.

On little trips around Calgary it consistently picks routes that are either further or much slower than ones I would myself pick even though I ask for either the shortest or fastest route. I'm not at all impressed with the performance but it would get you where ever you wanted to go in a strange city and you most likely wouldn't know it was not the most efficient way to get there.

For what I paid for the system I am very much not impressed.

Oh by the way my dealer gave me my old radio when I took delivery of the car, I still have it sitting on the bench out in the garage.
