Are The Latest Generation OEM Navs Units Finally Worth The Money?

While just about any navigation system on the market will get you where you're going, not all of them are created equally.

This is especially true in the world of OEM in-car navigation systems where screen size, interface design, feature sets, and (most importantly) price vary wildly from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some automakers offer cutting-edge GPS navigators with innovative features that you'll wonder how you ever got along without. Others will make you wish you'd skipped the pricey navigation package and just packed a smartphone.

No.

Just use a SmartPhone. Or get an aftermarket head unit and keep the change. This coming from a guy who ordered NAV in his last 2 vehicles.

I like having the larger display in my BMW. Also, resale wise there is more of a demand for vehicles with navigation. My friend works at a car dealership and he said any used vehicle with navigation sells a lot faster. It just completes the car.
If a car does not have nav, it should at least have an infotainment screen for bluetooth and music display.
