Draco covered it but I'll rephrase things
Onstar Safe & Sound $19/month or $200/year
Directions & Connections $29/month or $300/year
Directions & Connections includes everything in Safe & Sound and adds the nav features.

Sending mapquest routes to Onstar eNav sounded very nice. Onstar completely ignoring the route you planned and looking at only the final destination makes the feature utterly useless though. IF this is simply step one and Onstar is adding actually using mapquest routes that's cool but if it works like that it's just stupid. It's like adding a weight sensor to the passenger seat that can turn off the passenger side airbag when there's not an adult passenger in the seat but having the airbag always enabled regardless of what the sensor says.

In a car like a Camaro, Getting lost just means more driving time imo!

I've got ONstar and NAV in my Avalanche...it's nice and helpful. But I've always got my trusty $10.00 US map in the seat pocket.

I've not gone completely digital and never will. (and for you smart-asses, I also have a BB that will navigate for me also if necessary)

Sweet! Although I hope they make it work with Google Maps / Google Earth in the near future. I gave up using Map quest because it was loaded with mistakes (wrong way on roads, etc)

I don't plan any long trips with my Camaro. I have a Garmin Nuvi portable nav system that can play voice directions over the car's sound system when ever I need directions anywhere (and it is already paid for). I can use it in the mini van too if my wife needs to go anywhere.

Why do I need an expensive factory nav system?

To each his own. People like toys. I want one of those MIO KITT mobile GPS just for the KITT voice myself lol

Pretty Cool. Nice Find CaptainSam!

Hooy · 03-24-2009, 10:57 PM

I prefer my Garmin. Screen, voice, and doesn't require me to stop the car to change something.

tylermoore · 03-24-2009, 11:08 PM

The turn-by-turn adds $100/year to the price. Basic is $199. they offer a month by month billing, which may be $10 extra for turn-by-turn.

I have OnStar in my Enclave and like it.
