Nav. is almost useless here. And, belive in it or not, we are forbiden(by trafic departmant) to use DVD, TV, AND NAV.() while u 're driving. :thumbsdown:

finally, someone who agrees with me on the uselessness of Nav unless you drive everywhere around the country. i've been in miami my whole life and know where everything is and I don't plan to leave, so nav IMO is useless in my situation...

Many of us used to feel that way until we started using nav systems in cars. It's not always about finding how to go from point A to point B. The points of interest can be a big help at times -- even if you're not far from home.

For example, many times, I'm travelling locally and need to get home. I might know two or three different ways to get there from wherever I am but I want nav to help me decide which way is the best. Other times, I may be in a familiar area but need to find the nearest gas station (or cash machine, or restaurant, etc.) Other times, I might be on a highway (not travelling too far) and I need to know when the next couple rest areas are so I can figure out my "personal range."

There are many more little reasons to use nav in your hometown but these are just a couple. I don't travel in unfamiliar areas often but I use nav all the time and have been for about 5 years now. I finally have it in my wife's car now and it's great -- it truly is one of those things that once you have it, it's hard to go back...

well i say this because im some what the same way. i've never had nav so i have no grounds on knocking it. but i could agree with you on the "once you've had it you can't go without it". even since I had a honda s2000 back in 2000, every car i've had after that MUST have HIDs. just can't be without it.
