GPS is more about the data base behind it than the client side app or the device itself...... it's the map data and satellite network that counts
sure there are GPS interface easier to use than others, but until they get google maps to power the car navs, using a phone nav will remain superior

Personally I do think apple are stylish and the company is the best at marketing, I admire them cus I'm into marketing myself.

I have had a friend saying:"your car is cool, but my friend has a crazy Benz also really fast."
I asked if it's an AMG or some type of 500/550, he said:"It's the C250,he's got it all modded out"

Welcome to the god tier of GPS devices, make sure to play around with both google nav and google maps, they r both free, they do slightly different things and both r handy

Wow! Nice pic. I almost missed the Camaro in the background.
Agree. Good marketing can cover up lack of functionality, at times.

That could be interpreted as a jealous comment from your friend.
Reminds me of the GT500 200+ mph marketing before the 240+ mph Camaro demo on the Austin-San Antonio closed private Texas highway.

I still occasionally use my Onstar nav out of town, as needed (awesome). I haven't yet needed to use my google nav app. Google maps app is very handy. Bluetooth and Pandora (home TV too)are my current fav apps.

The guy just doesn't know anything about cars, he even said "You sure SLK is cheaper than the SL? It has more letters"
He IS the demographic of the Slk lol, mediocre car that most ppl believe cost 6 figures until it drives

In google nav you can just tap the microphone icon, talk to it like "chinese buffet, philly" it will list all chinese buffets in the city starting from the closest to you
For google maps it will show more info like ratings and hours, directly onto the map, but it takes a bit longer to operate when you are on the run
Also if you are using google maps on your computer with the same gmail account, any locations you "Star" will automatically go to your phone nav

So I just search for a place online copy the address into google maps on my computer, star it, grab my phone and go, it will show up on google maps on the phone without any type of link or cable

I am 51. All I have to do is, buy the new impala and then just have my 12 year old grand daughter show me how to use it. Done deal. LoL

I'm wondering this as well.

Those new headlights on that Impala make it look like a Acura TL.

[ASSASSIN]

That steering wheel

Unless I can upgrade my existing brand new MyLink to it, I hate it...

[jdogscam2013]

I actually bought a 2013 instead of the 12 because of the mylink, it's all preference dude.

And what was the first thing the new Missouri million dollar lottery winner want to get?
Wait for it...

A brand new Red Camaro!

Right on and the best to him and his family.

GM does not give a rats ass about any one in the AARP area.
