Re: Frustrating options for new FEH
I'm late to the party a lot lately, maybe I need a vacation.
Doing the research is always going to help with stuff like this, and shopping around is always wise. Sounds like you've done well.
Outside of a few people who have local nav gripes (and those are very few; only 1 that I can think of), everyone who got the A/N system is rather glad they got it, it's far more than a simple navigation system.
The Energy diagram is the only way to see the energy flow systems, to see your battery charge level, how much power is going out and coming in to the system at every moment.
The FE shows a graph of your MPGs, with a average bar (that's resettable), and an instant MPG bar.
You have a mapping system, to show you the area you're in, and Canada falls under 1 disk, and you have a six CD changer under the passenger seat.
There's a home button, which you can set by just being home and setting it as the location. Anytime you need/want to, you can hit home and it plots and tells you how to get home.
The Nav system itself you can enter addresses in a few different ways, it has a points of interest system with locations already in it, and you can choose how you want to get there (use freeways, avoid them, avoid toll roads, shortest distance, shortest time, etc.) There's a detour system to allow you to avoid a road, and if you miss a turn it replots for you. It's very clear cut instructions to get you to your destination.
Really, the only reason not to get it is because you can't afford it. IMHO, it's almost as cool as the hybrid technology itself.
