Default Re: 2006 Avalon Navigation ka-put

Hey I'm as old as dirt and after having factory navigation in my wifes Camry it was one of the first things I added to my 2004 Tundra when I purchased it in April 2007. My opinion differs in that I finally liked someone (a female voice at that) that could accurately guide me through with voice and split screen highlighted lane locations well ahead of decision time. Beats the heck out of trying to read multiple signs who's definitions seem to vary depending on their State and City locations. Best of all I can watch out for other traffic while I wait to look at the screen until her prompt. Biggest issue for me was to think I knew better than her when lane choices came up. She eventually managed to convince me that I was the one that was directionally challenged in strange cities. I do admit that in some area's she is blind especially in smaller cities in the mountainous areas of some states.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to syphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
