apparently you have a choice of either Nav or this- you can't get both. I see Nav being a big seller.

That would drive me nuts! But I suppose some people would like it because they have no one to talk to.

Thankfully my mother didn't get this in her car. I don't think I could take it for longer than 30 seconds.
