GPS? If you don't know where you are going from home well then you need to be in your Lexus (no, I don't have a Lexus and I do not need a Lexus or a Garmin except when I am at the airport in an unfamiliar city and the Avis rep asks me if I want one)

Did I mention that my wife is directionally challenged? We've lived here for 10 years and she still can't remeber the way to home depot (2 miles away). I do love her, so it would be nice if she could occassionally find her way back home.

I don't believe people pay less for a used car because it has NAV. (They may not be willing to pay more for it, either, unless they think they need it.)

Lohboy,

You have sharp eyes. The case is the same; the screen presentation is the same; the data bar at the bottom of the screen is the same. Only difference is that "Garmin" is replaced with "smart" on the case face. Mystery solved!

I love GPS. Once you have a car with GPS, you never go back.....

Yeah, GPS has saved my marriage. Years ago, we'd get to bickering about directions after I made a wrong term. Now I can yell at the lady in the GPS about her crappy directions, and my wife just sits back and rolls her eyes.

That may be a blessing in disguise! ;)

Well it's not, is a tomtom 910 made in the Netherlands the best selling brand in the world, and in I my opinion the best option, I have two and when I travel to Europe it has all the maps to Western Europe including security cameras, and bluetooth ..and also a 20 gig HD does not get any better that this..

The original NAV option from smart did not have a map...

And by the way having Nav in a car actually adds value to a car...

I think lhoboy got it right. Note the sameness of the smart NAV
and the Garmin StreetPilot .

The TomTom GO 910 is very different .
