I have not had the TCH NAV system take me to an incorrect address either.

For what it's worth, I have had my TCH for 1 year now, and it has my first every NAV system. So my experiences are admittedly limited. (What is it that say about the one's "first time"? ) It find that it does have weaknesses...ex: my street doesn't exist, according to it (but it IS a private street, and the street was only a year or 2 old when I got v5.1. Was hoping 6.1 would have it, but no such luck)

However, I know how to get home without the NAV system . Actually, I have marked HOME, and it gets me to the gated entry of my subdivision, although it is a little unnerving to see my home have a different street name and number than reality.

I bought the NAV equiped TCH specifically for the energy screens, but now, would probably not buy another car without NAV...limitations of the built-ins not withstanding. (Probably wouldn't buy another car without a Hybrid badge on the fender either!)
