The nav features in cars are SO primitive right now that you don't even realize it, kind of like the first-gen iPods. The nav systems need to be Internet-based with your choice of Google, Yahoo, or MS Live maps instead of the stupid DVD-based, must pay $300 to update systems currently offered. And they must fully integrate with names & addresses connected/dl'ed from your PDA/phone, and your GPS camera ! Take a pic, tag it, d/l it to your car, and now it's a personal picture-POI. Awesome. And when someone, anyone calls you through your vehicle's Bluetooth connxn, the person's or business' address is acquired via caller-ID info and with a simple confirmation becomes an instant POI. Cool. That's where all this is going and I don't want to - in fact, I won't - buy another vehicle until these features are included.
