How many of you have Factory Navigations in your car..... and....
 

said fuck it and bought a external GPS system like Garmin or Magellan :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh The gps they put into these cars are fucking useless loll

Especially when you have the "knob" on the console that controls everything :mad::mad::mad:

They also makey you pay through your nose to get the annual map update installed. Buy a separate Garmin device instead, you will not be sorry!

I already but a Magellan i gave up on the stok gps after it took me 15 min to input where to find closest starbucks lol

I love the navigation on my new daily driver and yes it's controlled by one knob. :1orglaugh

guilty as charged.

Not to keen on the ability for others to tap into factory installed ones. Nor their ability to shut your shit off.

I am quite satisfied with my factory GPS. I have had it running side by side with my Magellan and it was just as accurate.

i hated the idrive :disgust

Works good in the Lex. I always hated BMW electronics.

I don't mind it, just takes some getting used to.

I love the Acura factory installed one. I use it all the time.

All I had to do is get an updated CD every once in a while, which can be downloaded and burned anytime I want.

Not to mention my iPhone has a moving GPS as well lol..

In my 911, it has factory nav. and I was crossing the GWB and right when i passed the sign that said i was in new jersey, my nav showed the same thing. I have no complaints.

My buddy has a TL, best factory navigation I've ever used.

Though I do use my GPS in my G1. So no need to purchase another device.
As apple has stated - there is an app for that. Just also for non apple phones.

benz sucked - infinity was awesome

have one in the LandRover, works great:thumbsup Like the feature where the tank hits 1/4 full and the map pops up with all the closest gas stations:1orglaugh

I borrowed my sister-in-law's Honda Odyssey for a long car trip and it's navigation system sucked SO badly.

I would rather get my own then the factory installed one

its honestly not that bad compared to other systems. I had an Infiniti prior to my BMW and that system was shit. you could not enter a destination while the car was moving (i understand the safety, but the passengers are completely competent)

having to scroll through every letter sucks and the voice recognition isnt all that much better.

i still think the best one was one i saw in a new lexus ls460

the nav in my infiniti isnt bad its just inputting locations, and you cant do it while the car is moving. I miss my aftermarket double din Eclipse nav..that was the best navigation unit ive ever owned

Agreed. Never been fully satisfied with MB's factory sat nav. it's very basic.

well that would be good enough for me :)

My 2010 Camaro doesn't have GPS per-se, but instead uses On-Star for Navigation. It has its good points and bad points. For example you have to talk to a real person to tell it where you want to go which is dumb, but the turn-by-turn nav is great. (I recently found out that I can provide destinations and waypoints via the web which I have yet to try, but that sounds pretty cool too).

So far though I like using my iPhone for GPS. There is always new software, and some are better than others. My favorite one so far alerts me to where all the photo radars are, and where the cops hang out to catch speeders. Excellent!

Porsche nav is one of the worst systems from any manufacturer. Nobody I know would order that shit. Looks like you might as well be navigating the moon.

Europeans Billing Europe!
