Replying to: bobw3 (Sep 17, 2007 7:47 am) Just took delivery of a brand new, fully loaded, Cocoa Metallic, AWD CXL Enclave. First American made vehicle I have purchased in my life of 45 years. Have owned the following SUVs: Isuzu Trooper, Toyota Land Cruiser, Acura MDX, Honda Element, Lexus LX470 and Mercedes GL 450 plus numerous high quality import sedans (Mercedes E420, Infiniti J35 and Q45, Lexus LS 400, Lexus SC430 and Lexus LS430). Still have the Mercedes GL (wife's car), but our short list for a new SUV included the new Lexus LX 570(due out late this year), the Range Rover Sport(Supercharged), and a 2nd Mercedes GL.    The Buick Enclave caught my eye in some articles from the 3 auto Magazines I get monthly (Car & Driver, Automobile, Motor Trend). After reading numerous positive consumer reviews I visted the Buick dealer and checked out the Enclave. I must admit, having never owned an American brand vehicle, this is a nicely designed and appointed SUV. It looks great from the front and sides and has one of the nicest looking rear ends of any SUV made. The interior is very well appointed. For $45,000 it's by far one of the best values for the look, size, and amenities this car delivers. I'm please to see there's finally a GM product that fits the look, design, quality and value I expect in an automobile.    Havent' had it long, but the Enclave looks, drives and feels better behind the wheel than I even expected. I'm very pleased with the decision to purchase the Enclave. I'll post later with some thoughts on the ownership experience.

#2853 of 2998 dots on NAV screen based on travel paths by lwolf99 Oct 06, 2007 (4:05 pm)
Hello all. I am looking for a little help....   I have a fully loaded, Cocoa Metallic, AWD CXL Enclave that I purchased at the end of June. And so far, I am loving it.   I noticed something the other day. When I display the NAV screen, there are many dots displayed over my typical driving paths. I live about 1.5 miles from my office. There are dozens of tiny little dots displayed between those two locations. Then there are more dots, although fewer and further between, around the 3-4 mile area around my town - the typical paths of travel that I take to church, school, the store, restaurants, etc.   It almost seems like it is leaving some sort of "crumb trail", in case I got lost or something.   It is not a bad thing, I was just a little confused as to what caused a "dot" or "crimb" to appear, and if/when they will ever go away. I looked through the manual, and did not see anything.   Does anyone have any explaination?

Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 06, 2007 4:05 pm) I am not familiar with your particular NAV, but I would bet there is some setting to turn this off. I will use it sometimes in my portable unit when fishing to return back to where I launched the boat on a big lake, etc. Look in the manual for "tracks" or "tracback" and it should show you how to disable this feature.

Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 06, 2007 4:05 pm) I could be wrong, but it sounds like your nav unit is leaving a breadcrumb trail. This is usually caused when the roads you are driving on are not recognized by the by the DVD in your system. Either your DVD is outdated or the signal is somehow getting scrambled and it is showing you as being on an unrecognized road. Does your system show the roads you are currently traveling when this is happeing or are the breadcrumbs alongside the recognized road (left or right). The only time I had that happen to me was up in Canada which at the time was outside the parameters of that DVD(2003 edition). Use the nav system on some of your of your regular routes and see if it does the same thing. If it does, your system needs to be updated. Good luck!

Replying to: bobelew (Oct 07, 2007 12:42 pm) The "dots" are on my usual path of travel between home, work and play. There are all main roads. The road names are displayed on the screen.   The DVD came with my Enclave, which I purchased in June. Replies to this message: robr2 (Oct 11, 2007 1:49 pm) dmathews3 (Oct 11, 2007 3:23 pm)

Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 08, 2007 6:00 pm) It's probably a bread crumb trail. What does the Owner's Manual say? You have checked the manual havn't you??

Replying to: lwolf99 (Oct 08, 2007 6:00 pm) Have you tried ejecting the DVD and after a minute or so putting it back in to reboot the system. Those bread crumbs as they are being refered to in my opinion are not normal. I have a 07 STS with Nav and it doesn't have that feature so I doubt yours does either. I think something is wrong and may need to be taken to the dealer. Also check the DVD to make sure there aren't any scraches, fingerprints or anything else on it.
#2859 of 2998 Tranny problems fixed in '08? by tsu670 Oct 12, 2007 (9:39 am)
This is directed mainly to owners of new 2008 Lambdas.   Are you having transmission shift issues like owners of 2007 models had? In other words, are the problems fixed?   A Saturn salesman told me they were fixed, and that the required computer program change had been applied to all the '07s.
