Navigation worth the price?

Is the navigation really worth the price?

How functional is it compared to other brands?

Do you ever really use it?

Is there anything that you like or dilike about the navigation system in the expy?

thanks,

scott

Is it the $1,500 option? For that money, I'd get a $1,000 laptop and a GPS kit. I saw a guy on a flight once who had one. He had the receiver antenna up against the window and a moving map display of the city below. The 15" screen showed exactly where we were during the flight. This gives the same functionality as the dealer option but you get a fully functional laptop computer with it.

Love mine, works great! Laptop would work great if you could ballance it on the steering wheel :-) Being intergraded into the audio system has many advantages. I wouldn't buy a car without one.

Just wanted to say that I said a prayer for your daughter and will continue to do so. I know that it has been several years now, but never loose hope.

God bless

Scott

As someone said in the link that HomerWinzlow posted, theMagellan Roadmate 700 (with the hard drive) is awesome. I used the Hertz NeverLost system (the same system as the RoadMate) in a rental car for a month and I can't imagine any interface being easier. I was able to lookup businesses, restaurants, etc etc with just a few clicks (not having to select every letter in the name).

The only place I've found that has a working one on display is The Sharper Image.

If I had $1000 I would get one. Maybe I'll get one for Christmas.
