Re: Navigation worth getting?
I LOVE my Nav system. For instance, the boyfriend and I were stuck as to what kind of restaurant to eat. So, I entered my nav system, did the POI category search, chose current position, went into restaurants, chose the different categories of restaurants we might have been interested in for the night and searched. It pulls up a bunch of info on the restaurants including their telephone number and address.
I also love the little quirks with the Nav system. For instance, we drove to this new development a little outside of the city near my boyfriend's parents' house. We set their house as the destination, but purposely drove through the new development. As we approached it, you could clearly see that the Nav maps lacked the new street, so there was white space. As we drove onto the new street and onto the white, the Nav system started beeping at us, very "Danger Danger Will Robinson." It stayed on the whole time we were in the new area, but the cursor was just floating through white space.
The Nav system has a lot of wow factor and I think it's great. It is a fantastic part of the vehicle and there's so much you can do with it. Don't just think about the maps. Think about how much cooler your sound system controls are, the Bluetooth functions for your phone, the touch screen, the consumption and energy screens, the radio stations. On almost all radio stations, the Nav screen will tell you the name of the station and its genre. On some of the radio stations, the Nav screen will tell you the above information in addition to the name of the song!
IMO, very, very worth it. The geek value is great and I can't live without it now.
