The joystick can be a little fiddly when entering in an address but otherwise I found it excellent and very easy to use (despite having hardly read the substantial manual on it ) the Z's voice is almost..almost sexy! I wonder if I could switch it out for somethin hotter lol

i'm just gonna throw out some questions and hope they get answered, i hope people post their own opinions of the two also..:
1. does the nissan's have a background/screensaver (ex. acura's have a pic of the "universe" (bunch of stars) when not being used
2. how accurate is the navi?
3. can you control the ac?
4. can you pick different views for the maps?
5. is the screen small? (compared to Acura's, i don't know any dimesnions)
6. what features doesn't the Nissan navi have that you wish it did besides touchscreen?
I'm gonna try to go to a dealer and check out the navi as soon as i get a chance, but i been real busy, and don't like going to the dealer knowing i can't leave without the car yet...

1. does the nissan's have a background/screensaver (ex. acura's have a pic of the "universe" (bunch of stars) when not being used. NO
2. how accurate is the navi? VERY!
3. can you control the ac? NO
4. can you pick different views for the maps? YES. Standard and Bird View
5. is the screen small? (compared to Acura's, i don't know any dimesnions). Good Size Screen
6. what features doesn't the Nissan navi have that you wish it did besides touchscreen? NONE except the legal disclaimer you have to agree to every time your start the car. A-Holes. However, it does not have street level maps for all areas. See here for details:

I like the stock navigation better than any aftermarket unit I've fiddled around with. Mainly because I absolutely LOVE birds eye view (3d view basically, looking down and forward at about a 30 degree angle roughly). It is incredibly accurate. Mine has been accurate to within what seems like 1-3 feet. I know from what I have heard/read about non military GPS over the years that they should not be this accurate, but perhaps the car uses some of it's own interpretation to put you more accurate. Mine is as accurate as I could ever dream it could be basically. It has tons of features, and I really love it. I have not used the Acura, but I don't see how any unit could be much better than this one that Nissan/Infinit uses.
