wow Chekov, hope is nothing serious and everything is ok.

 

I live by it

 

Thanks for your concern. After suffering for 17 years being deaf in my left ear I finally decided to have a cochlear implant operation. The internal device was successfully implanted on Friday, and after a thirty day waiting period they will activate the external transmitter when I hope to hear again in that ear.

 

Very cool. I work in schools and I've known several kids who've done it. Their parents consider the implant a minor miracle. Life-changing and overwhelming at first, but ultimately a wonderful move.

Good luck!!!

 

Most of the G37's I have seen have had nav, but it wasn't necessarily a deal breaker for me. I currently use an Iottie mount and waze from my iphone which works quite well. It's nice to have the nav but I don't think it's necessarily a huge deal these days, especially when map dvds get outdated and aren't as effective.

 

I've taken my car where phone reception is spotty at best making nav a must. Not getting it is a non starter for me, plus everybody on here knows it adds 10HP.

 

I was only looking at nav. Coupe.

 

It doesn't make sense for a G to Not to have Nav

 

wasn't a priority in my search but now that I have it, I really like it! I have seen navs in benz 500 sl and some beemers and they were pretty useless. infiniti nav in my opinion is very intuitive. but personally when i am buying a car there are other things that are of much higher priority, once those criteria are met everything else is like icing on the cake.

 

I thought I didn't want/need navigation, but I bought it anyways. I bought the car from a dealership that was in a town I was not familiar with. After entering my home address in the nav, I knew I would have instantly had remorse for not getting the nav system.

 

Dont use my Nav. But I use what the Nav package came with .
Btw. The voice recon SUX!

 

The lady voice in my 280z was hot lol

 

Well, let’s face it. Besides the inconvenience of portable GPS devices that add clutter to your dash and perhaps have to be hidden if you park in public, and are not fully integrated with the car’s other systems (e.g. MPG graphs and maintenance alerts), your car is worth a bit more on resale with factory nav whenever you choose to sell it.

 

I agree that the Nav is worth almost what you paid for it on trade-in. It's like buying a house in a good school district, even if you don't have kids.

 

The nav in the G37 is very klunky to use. Mostly I use it just to see the surrounding streets of where i'm at. Useful to find a detour if there's a traffic jam up ahead. For actual routing purposes I use a garmin.

When I did the road trip out to CO last year, I plotted the entire route in mapsource (garmin's windows/mac software). I had very detailed routes, stops, potential fuel stops, breaks. Granted, getting to denver from here was really just a bunch of interstates. Once there however, I spent a good week exploring the state highways, backroads, county roads. No nav device would ever route me to take these roads.

As a backup, I have copilot on my android device. It uses offline maps so data is not required.

Chekov, you're one step closer to being a borg
