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.

Everything I've seen leads me to conclude Honda's system is better in many ways. The most significant to me are that the screen is bigger; it takes voice commands right out of the box; and it can be used while the vehicle is in motion.

Advantages of Honda GPS vs. Toyota by jchan2

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.

V2.20 anyone by jtchambliss
Feb 25, 2005 (2:49 pm)

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?

Nav upgrade by oddizzi

I am looking for a response to msg #473 as I am going to upgrade my GPS version as well. I have a 2000 Odyssey purchased used in 2002. I have never checked specs on distibutor or manufacturer of GPS system. I surmise from forums it is Alpine? I will check my owners manual and see what it has. Thought the upgade price was a bit steep ~$200. Is no one making compatible less priced CDs. I mean really, what does it take to burn a new CD(time and cost of materials) and why the 3 weeks delay in getting a new one. Are they being made on someones laptop after their day job. Just wondering?

Who makes the Navi system Honda uses in the Oddy? Is there Nav-Traffic overlay software that can be added?

It's made by Alpine. While I don't know the answer for sure, I don't see how any software could be added to it.
