Actually, I have the NAV in my '05 Ody. I LOVE IT! You're correct that there are a lot of other less expensive options. But having it integrated is fantastic and the voice commands are a great way to enter information into the NAV without removing your hands from the wheel or eyes from the road. In addition, you can adjust the climate control, including rear defroster and the radio by voice command. Adjusting the radio by voice command is also nice since the radio on the HCH is integrated into the NAV and there aren't discrete buttons on the radio. You can use the buttons on the steering wheel, but they cannot do everything. It is nice to be able to switch from FM preset 1 to XM preset 6 using one command. The main thing is learning the commands so that it understands you. It takes some time, but I mastered it well in a few weeks.
