Yes, I understand about different street spellings as I use google maps on my phone to do the same thing. Some additional questions if you would be so kind to answer:
 
1. Can a route be programmed into the unit while driving, or does the vehicle have to be in park, or stopped?
2. Does the screen always rise out of the dash when starting the car, or can it be programmed to stay down until called for?
3. How is the database for the POI and streets updated? Can you download from Cadillac and enter via a USB, or do you have to buy new DVD's, or via OnStar, or?
 
Thanks!

1. No, GM has it setup so only limited functions work while the car is moving faster than about 2mph to stop you from playing with it while driving and having your eyes off the road. Don't know about the CTS but someone has made a plug in device that will over ride the safety GM has built into the STS.
2. Don't know I have a STS
3. You must buy the DVD's but GM gives you the first 3 years worth for free. I find that things don't really change that much except for new sub divisions and maybe new malls. A road always stays the same and the same McDonalds doesn't move either

Ordered it? or took deliver?
 
If ordered, when do you expect delivery?
 
In any case, congratulations and use it well.
