My factory navigation in my mazda is so useless right now that I dont even use it. Right now it shows me living in the middle of a great big field in the middle of nowhere. Unless the software is upgradeable I would never ever consider another factory navigation again. Aftermarket gives you a lot of more options with constant updates (depending on which model) to mapping.

I agree 100%. There are always new roads and POI's, that unless the NAV system has the updatability of the standalone systems it's not worth it. The only thing I can see making it worth it is if your the type of person that needs that "Bling factor" of the NAV screen in your dash.
