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!!!!!!

Replying to: rorr (Jan 28, 2005 1:46 pm) 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.

Replying to: s2000fever (Jan 28, 2005 10:53 pm) 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. |

Replying to: dsmith1381 (Jan 28, 2005 8:01 am) 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.

| The main advantage, in my opinion, is that its a lot easier to find an Odyssey with NAV than a Sienna with NAV. Just look at all those confusing option packages. | |

Anyone receive their v2.20? Mine shipped on Wednesday and will be here Monday (2/28). I'm upgrading from v2.03. My 2000 Odyssey came with v1.97, which I upgraded to v2.03 (moved to Albuquerque, which was not included in v1.97). The reason for this most recent upgrade is the addition of unverified roads (not part of v2.03), plus the new & expanded POI. Are there any other enhancements that I might expect to see? Do they actually upgrade the software/firmware in any way?
