I’ve always thought there are two kinds of Infiniti owners: those who have factory nav and those who are eventually sorry they didn’t get it. Specifically, factory nav usually has the following advantages:
• Less dashboard clutter
• No need to hide or put away a portable device when parking in public
• Integration with other features, e.g., MPG graphs, maintenance warnings, etc.
• Backup camera in earlier models
• Built-in XM radio if desired
• Higher resale value
• Less dashboard clutter
• No need to hide or put away a portable device when parking in public
• Integration with other features, e.g., MPG graphs, maintenance warnings, etc.
• Backup camera in earlier models
• Built-in XM radio if desired
• Higher resale value
If I could push the reset id have a true navigation system installed when I purchased the car. So I’ve accepted waze/google vis the phone is my gps.

I guess the debate goes on. But I still believe the advantages of factory nav outweigh the use of other methods.
BTW, traffic information in my Lexus nav includes most main streets, not just freeways as was the case in my G37. I believe as these systems improve there will be even less interest in portable devices.

use Google Maps or Waze if you want to navigate accurately.
i had a brand new QX60 as a loaner vehicle - the nav lead me 2 blocks and one street over from my actual destination.
