Replying to: beanandme (Aug 20, 2006 4:45 pm) I have been traveling for work and after using my Garmin Nuvi 360 portable with BT built in stuck to the rental car windshield, I realize how unfriendly the Kenwood (Subaru) NAV system is. plus it maps me funny off a main road onto a side road then back onto the main road... but like I said, its better then nothing. I seriously doubt you will be able to do a screen saver from pictures ect. but a nice idea. and no BT options I have seen yet. this I miss from my previous SUV (a Pacifica). The best route is usually the FASTEST Route option (typically set as your default route). but its not perfect. you can only select and deselect which roads to ALLOW. the option is not for PREFERRED Road types like in alot of other systems (ie. prefer highways)... Sounds like your first Subaru... as I was lost as well on where the buttons were. The reset button is located in the instrument cluster right above the stearing wheel (its black so hard to see). hold down to reset which Odometer you are on and the MPG will reset. it tracks both odometers separately in the MPG screen on the NAV screen. and TSPORTY is right. set all your friends and favorite locations up in memory points, you can select the first page of memory points or last locations while driving! you can not enter points manually while driving. also you should set up your very very used locations as memory buttons on the bottom. I have my home and work setup. so when you click destination the mini buttons on the bottom are there even when the SUV is moving

Replying to: cluelesspa (Aug 20, 2006 8:46 pm) I'm sorry I don't really understand. Do people use Nav systems to get to their home, work and friends houses? I thought it was just for finding unfamiliar places? Or did you just move to a very complicated city?

| Does the OEM Nav say street names, or just the "Turn Left/Right"? | |

I had a loaner for a week, and I own a Garmin c320 now. The Garmin is easier to use, but I do miss the sweet voice on the Tribeca and the much bigger screen. -juice

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 21, 2006 11:15 am) and the Garmin does read street names, the Subaru doesn't. but none of my previous NAV built in car systems read names, but I think most of the new built in ones do. as far as HOME and Work .. yeah sometimes your some place else and need to get home from there, so its nice to have those preprogrammed in

Replying to: cluelesspa (Aug 21, 2006 8:02 pm) My c320 does not read street names, but the c340 or higher does, basically two steps up from mine. I've saved so many favorites that I usually have to search by name. I find it incredibly useful. -juice |

Does any one know how to stop having that screen appear every time I start the car that makes you pick your language and hit the "I agree" button? I have agreed to follow the rules of using the nav about 300 times now and it keeps popping up- will this always happen or did I miss something in the set-up? Help??? thanks!
