I just took my first trip into "uncharted" territory, where I was at the mercy of the Nav system to guide me to my destination, and I'm happy to report that it performed flawlessly. After reading some of the horror stories here about inaccuracies and bad directions, I was a bit leery starting out, but that quickly melted as voice command after voice command was perfect. When she finally said, "Your destination is on the right," there it was, and I was smiling.
My previous nav system was a portable unit, which I liked, too, but I noticed another advantage I hadn't anticipated. When the system speaks, the radio volume is automatically lowered. I couldn't play my radio too loud with the portable unit, for fear of not hearing the directions. Now, I can blast away!
In short, I love the nav and won't be without this option on future cars.
