You want a navigation system? Too bad -- the Holden development crew figured you'd rather they spend the money on things like surgically precise steering and bourbon-smooth six-speed transmissions (besides, all new Camaros will offer OnStar turn-by-turn route guidance).

And you don't total the car by looking at a screen instead of the road?

OnStar is voice-over the screen is just secondary

Thanks for the cover camarino. I just thought that they would figure a 21st century sports car would have voice over. And besides the message center is between the speedo and tach so it should not be a big deal anyway.

It can be useful at times, but usually nobody uses it.

If you want nav. that badly, go get a Garmin or something.

ArcAngel · 03-18-2009, 10:53 PM

Exactly or like most phones now a days have nav in them but seriously the turn by turn works great or theres always mapquest LOL

I agree with Holden. I'd rather they put long term value into the car. Many car reviewers are saying to go with the aftermarket units because of technology changing so fast. The other benefit of OnStar is while you pay for the service, you don't have to mess with updating the maps. Also, I travel alone quite a bit and I can ask the OnStar operator to find something for me while driving. Like Starbucks on my route near I-95 at 5:30 in the morning.

Actually the turn by turn help thing from Onstar looks pretty cool the way it shows an arrow and how much further before you tun... that's all I need. I don't need a computer voice talking over my music...

The turn-by-turn feature does announce the turns just like the other nav systems. It mutes the music while it is announcing the turns. I believe all nav systems are really designed to be primarily voice prompts. You don't want to be watching the DIC or nav screen instead of the road. It's there for a reference.
