370z Nav Package

This is the most logical post on this entire thread. Good job.

Got to love forums and all the senseless bickering.

For me, and me alone, it boils down to these things:

First, I find it to be nothing more than an expensive toy that adds little or nothing other than convenience and fancy looks. For less money I can have all the same features, whether after market, a smart phone, an ipod/ipad, a portable DVD player, a portable navigation unit, or other things. So if you have the money and want convenience and better looks, by all means, buy it. I'll spend my money else where, because I'm not that well off. No worries.

Second, I spend 97% of my time in the same town that I've lived in for years. There is zero need for me to have a navigation device at home. For trips with my wife, since we also have an SUV, we most likely won't be taking this car. On long trips to strange cities where navigation would be cool to have, we would fly anyway, so what good does it do me sitting in the car at home? None. Besides, again, a smart phone is a better thing when traveling to strange places because it can do so much more.

Third, I'm not directionally challenged. Some people I know can't find their arses in broad daylight. Both my wife and I are not one of those people. We have gone on many trips to strange cities over the years and never had an problems.

Forth, I already own a portable DVD player, so no need for that. Not that I would ever use it in my 2 seater sports car anyway. We've never used it in our Solstice for sure.

Fifth, I already have a 160 ipod which is mostly full, so that music box thing is a waste for me.

Bottom line, for ME, it's a total waste of money. A total waste, like throwing it out the window.

For you, it may be the best thing you ever paid for; something no stranger can help you with. The decision is yours based on your money reserves, your lifestyle, your traveling habits, your ability to "self find" your way around, and how important it is to look cool inside. Good hunting.
