Can someone point me to a picture or post a picture of the dash board with the Navigation system. It is my understanding that the speedometer and such move to the steering column with the Navigation system. What does this look like ??

I love mine. I was really hesitant to get one becuase of the price...but at the same time, I still don't know parts of the city where I don't travel often. I figured that it would give me an opportunity to freely drive around and explore - get to know my way around the city better.

Split mode with the map on the left, and on the right, street, city, coordinates. It really helps, especially to quickly glance over and see the best way to get back onto the right street. The driving directions are very good. Very accurate, gives good, fairly efficient routes.

I guess if you always knew where you were going, or lived in rural america, it would be a waste.

Only complaint - when I go to visit my family, who lives outside the city, the GPS displays the street as its numerical route (ie. CR16) instead of the common street name (Havens Corners Rd.). However, it has no problem locating places based on the common street name....Wish this could be switched over to common name format.

I love it. It can draw of attention, don't lose focus on driving...

I find mine very useful. I especially like the mileage guages and using it to find paved country roads.

Origionally I ordered it because I wanted the speedo Micky Mouse Ears look. Now I find it's much easier to see the tach than the other config..

Your dealer / service person can change the voice for you to brit lady or man. I ask ed when I went in he said sure it was just a seting to pick. but I think the dealer has to pick the setting for you.
