Tom Tom vs. factory navigation - 10/25/08 01:28 PM
There are a lot of people out there that think its crazy to pay $1,500 - $2,000 extra for a new car that has a factory navigation system.  I am one of them but I did it anyways.  I gotta tell you it was one of the best decisions I ever made.  Not only because it cleaned up my car from all of those mapquest printouts, it makes showing a house a whole lot easier.
