so how good is the 8's stock nav. is it competable with the after market ones like alpines?

are there specs?

 

I don't think any factory nav is going to compare to a good aftermarket one as far as image details go. However, only factory nav systems have all the extra gyros and speed sensonrs required to allow the system to work in tunnels and around tall buildings.

 

The factory nav is also well integrated in the dash. I hate the add on ones that don't require extensive dash modification by professsionals.

 

Good

1) Screen is a little larger than aftermarket.
2) Dont have to "hide" it for fear of theft.
3) Built in looks better than a stalk.
4) It works. Far better than Mapcrust.


Bad

1) Cannot download/upload new maps
2) No touch screen inputs, cumbersome to enter addresses.
3) Location of joystick and switches make playing while driving too easy. Kinda dangerous.

 

so how do u enter street names
