RE: Navigation ?

I love it, it's pretty cool just to always see on a map where you are. And you can use it as a map, just move the joystick to anywhere in the US you want and zoom in. The aftermarket units may do more, but I just want a car that I don't have to do a thing to, I'm done with all that. I did alot to my last car. I'm just gonna tint the windows, and enjoy it as it is. Plus I have to save my pennys to do stuff to my bike.

Youd be suprised at the miles you waste taking the long way and the mountain roads you miss out on because they dobt look that great in the beginnning or look like a dead end.

Glad I don't have one then, cause I hate wasting miles. I like to get there, and get the job done.

I dont think you are understanding. By having navigation you will go less miles. You can see short cuts and which roads arent actually parrallel and cut off major time and miles. You think you know the shortest and fastest way around your home town until you actually see a brids eye view of your travels.

RE: Navigation ?

We just bought a 2007 Civic EX with Navi, and all I can say is that most of the times, it plots our course the longest way around, using most of the major Highways, even if we set it to use the most direct path. And in some cases, when plotting a course to, say across town, it will take us through the down town area, instead of taking us down a major 4 lane highway, (which is before you get to the downtown area yet parralles the road going through down town) Taking the 4 lane cust off about 3 miles, and 10 minutes off the time.

Unless there are some things that I donot know about (and that's very possible as we just bought it yesterday) It may prove itself to be a huge waste of money.

There are ways to set up your preferences in most GPS units, like avoiding tollroads, or shortest route, or quickest route, etc. Some are even usable offroad.

This post you resurected from the dead is almost 2 years old so it's possible something might have changed.
