I want the NAV from the things I've read here, but I'm need to sell the wife on the features for the hefty premium. Could you give me..like the top 5 uses/reasons you like the NAV feature?

With tongue firmly in cheek, I submit.....
 
<drum roll>
 
5. You can earn extra money as a taxi service and know that you'll always be able to find your destination.
 
4. Listening to the computer voice giving the directions is SOOOOOOO much more soothing than your significant other screaming that you just missed your exit.
 
3. It's a really neat way to hide your CD-changer!
 
2. No one can ever actually fold up a map once it is opened. Why invite the headache?
 
And the number 1 reason is.....
 
1. IT LOOKS REALLY COOL!!!!!!

LOL. It DOES look really cool.
 
I think it is hard to make a solid case for NAV unless you tend to travel a lot to places you haven't been. We have found it useful when heading to a museum somewhere and we are not sure exactly where it is, but then, we could have looked it up on the Internet. A couple times we used it to select a nearby restaurant in which to eat (has those Zagat reviews). I suppose there are better uses, but we have not yet taken it on vacation or a trip. The back-up camera rocks, though, and it appears on the NAVI screen.

Well - I wanted the NAV but figured that I would not use it much - five weeks later and WRONG!! - it rocks. Case in point. My wife and daughter needed to go to a theatrical performance +- 75 miles away. I easily found the venue in the Navi and followed the directions to a tee. When I dropped them off, my wife said to feed my other kid. Unfamiliar with the area, and my kid indecisive about what to eat, I pulled up restaurants and immediately got a "yes" for one +- 1 mile away. The Navi told me how to get there. Next, with only a few bucks left and needing to go back to the venue and wait for the event to be over (fee to park), I pulled up "banks" and found a no-fee ATM about a mile from the restaurant. Navi got me to the bank without incident, hit the "previous destinations" button as now I was totally turned around, and the Navi got me back to the venue without incident. We pulled into the parking structure, backed into a spot, popped To Fast To Furious into the DVD, put the wireless head phones on, reclined the seats, and had a great time. So, I guess I feel good about getting the Navi package afterall. The XM radio is pretty cool, too.

Yep, the NAVI can be handy. The funniest use for us so far:
 
Last weekend my wife and a friend of hers went to a party at another woman's house, about 10 miles from our home. Turns out that when they left, they became turned around in that woman's neighborhood and could not find their way out. So my wife hits the "talk" button on the NAVI and says, "Go home." And the NAVI, which I programmed, shows them the way out and home. I never would have guessed THAT particular use.

The NAV models are the only ones that come with an XM radio installed (as opposed to prewired). Check out their website for their offerings for $10/month. (first 3 months free trial) Strictly personal taste, of course, but I definitely intend to buy a receiver for my home audio system. I'm impressed; my wife, who wanted XM, is disappointed. Rear passengers can also listen to XM in rear entertainment headphones, while front passengers listen to another program.
 
NAV has voice activation for radio, climate control, and rear entertainment system.
 
Very easy to manipulate radio--especially XM--from easy-to-read touchscreen.
 
Does save lots of time from map reading.
 
Can program in all favorite destinations--home, work, airports, etc.--and access everything by voice.
 
Has Zagat's 2004 numerical ratings and tons of restaurant listings, supermarkets, ATMs, attractions, etc. (Listings aren't perfect--call to double check). Can say, for example, "nearest Italian restaurants" and a list will appear.
 
has voice prompts if you want them-- mininum, maximum, somewhere in between or none at all--automatically lowers volume on radio when voice is speaking -- can choose male or female.
 
rear camera is helpful
 
good luck.

Still deciding on which van. Anyone see any comparisons about the Odyssey navigation with the Sienna Navigation system.
