although i don't use it for directions, i use the digital map every time i drive. i drive a higher end car which has two maps, one in the center console and one in the instrument pod. i set the the instrument pod to show a top-down zoomed in dynamic heading version and the console map shows a bird's eye zoomed out fixed north version. very useful. also satellite radio and weather/traffic is useful. if i want directions my phone will play them audibly over bluetooth while i look at my dash map (it's the same map!) i think any car with bluetooth and a halfway decent regular map will be useful for years to come. my parents have a 10 year old car with a map that's still useful for basic nav.
