I had a car with built-in navigation before. For the very same reasons you've mentioned I got a new car without one. I regret it a lot!
Phone or portable navigation is such a pain to use. Charging cables, mounts, don't forget to hide it when parked in a not-so-nice-area, don't forget to put it back.
I miss always present, always charged and nicely integrated with the car audio built-in nav system.
- rogerbinns 14y agoI buy a Garmin every few years at Costco, where price ranges from $150 to $350. It comes with a mount etc and I never hide it. I don't think it has much worth to thieves since they are obsolete not too much later. I also don't frequent dodgy areas (to my knowledge). I do use the PIN protection so even if someone stole it the device wouldn't be useful as is, and they wouldn't be able to get my home address out of it. Every time I ride with someone who has in car GPS they moan about the user interface and often don't use it anyway due to stale map and POI data.
