Just making SobeTerrain's message easier to read. I agree. It really is a superior NAV system (and may I point out the people telling you not to get it, don't have it - so they are giving you uninformed information).
The uninformed here, I did my research and besides the bigger screen I decided the extra money could be saved by keeping my portable gps which cost less to replace if something new comes out. Also if the gps system goes out it is much cheaper to replace. True you get the hard drive but its small enough where I do not consider it even worth while. I have usb keys that are bigger. The gps may recaculate a little faster but I have never had a problem with my garmin recalculating if I miss a turn.
I ask that you go out and a find a terrain or nox with a nav system and test drive yourself to help make a informed decision.
I am not making a uninformed decision. I even test drove a terrain with the nav. I just didnt see dropping the extra money for it. The nav was not worth it in my eyes. It was nice and had alot of buttons to play with but in the end it helps you get from point a to point b and my garmin does that just fine. As far as the music well I have a usb key that I can play my music off of.
The nav adds about 1-2 grand to the price of the car. I can buy 1 portable gps a year for the next 10 years and still come out ahead.
I also looked at the nav systems put in cars a few years back and saw how technolgy has increased and how the navs were out of date. I can only assume its going to keep getting better.
