Escape from Entune

I never really liked the sat navis in cars. They get outdated after a year, not like Google Maps or Waze that are constantly updated. Although I get cell coverage isnt available at some locations and a sat navi is necessary

You cannot go wrong with honda or toyotas

 

The maps didn't work so you buy a different car????
Why not spend $150-200 and get a new radio?

 

Or a hundred dollars and get a Garmin with lifetime maps and traffic?

edit to add: But I do agree that Toyota's nav system is borderline criminal.

 

Maps on my iPhone works great!

I've never seen Toyota's system, or other manufacturers, but very few seem to like them.
If I have to ever replace the radio, I'd get one with airplay to make it easier...

 

Same here. But I like to have the Garmin on long trips. On our last 4k+ mile trip I burned through all my data before we got home. No I have unlimited data, so not as big of a deal except when out of cell phone coverage. That's where the Garmin steps in again.

 

We had a Garmin (model not remembered), but the last time after updating the maps before a long trip, it was telling me to take the right fork where there wasn't one, showed us driving in a cornfield when we were on the highway, and sometimes showed the car moving crabwise on a road I knew I was not on.

 

I've see a Garmin do stuff like that. And a TomTom. And Google Maps. And Apple Maps. And my car's nav. Come to think of it, I've never seen a perfect nav system, but the one in my car is crazy out of date and stupid expensive to make slightly less out of date.

 

I'm certainly not suggesting that the Prius built-in satnav is superior.
