the in dash GPS of every car I've test drove (like a dozen covering about every brand) is insanely bad. Considering on average you're paying like nearly $1k extra for it its just stupid. These $200 or less units works better AND are portable. Most vehicles the GPS does add quite a bit to things as an overall music player but still... give me an aftermarket deck ANY day.
I'm finding when both the internet and the GPS are on it drains the hell out of the battery so you'd better only turn the internet part on as needed. Just today I checked gas prices and found a place on my way home that was $3.89 for gas just a block "out of my way" where everybody else was $3.99 which considering my civic only drinks 10 gallons at a time it only saved a $1 but still... do that 100 times and its paid for itself.
