Does anyone know how the Nav compares to a current Magellan or Garmin GPS unit? Does it have the Points of interest like the GPS's units? I don't think I would normally get the Nav, but wih another little one on the way, I like the safety of the backup camera.

Replying to: cj31 (Jul 18, 2007 7:15 am) The Honda Odyssey Nav is excellent, and I would probably rate it much higher than the Garmin in most categories, even though you can get a good late-model Garmin for under $500. The factory Honda is also much better than my factory Toyota ('06). However, some of the maps are better on the Garmin than the Honda. The Honda Nav is voice-activated and this feature works very well. The Honda also has a HUGE screen compared to the Garmin. The Garmin is great and the maps are better than Honda, but the Honda's size and voice-activation, along with being integrated with the A/C system, etc., makes the Honda Nav far more desirable to me. No hanging wires, etc., is a huge plus. You can get aftermarket nav systems with comparable size, etc., but the price goes way up. An aftermarket integrated system costs about the same as the factory option. The backup camera is also super. The Odyssey is the second car that I have bought recently with this feature and I couldn't imagine buying another car without it. I have two small children that leave toys in the garage, driveway, etc., so it is great for me. Plus, once you get used to it and have a feel for the distance, it is nearly impossible to back into another car, pole, mailbox, etc., as long as you are paying attention. The backup camera even works great in the dark. I put an aftermarket backup camera on a truck and there is no comparison to the factory camera when it comes to the size of the screen and the integration factor.

In December 2006 I purchased a used 04 EX with leather. It had 38,000 miles and had been leased for 2 years. It was in near new condition, absolutely beautiful. We paid $17,900. (Contra Costa Auto, Oakley CA) I'm happy to take 'slightly used' for 10 Grand in savings. These folks give GREAT service. We're having engine troubles right now, I'm not too pleased with Honda, but these 'Used Car Salesmen' have jumped right in to help us out. I'll buy from them again. |
