I jumped on this as soon as I saw this. I have been waiting for a decent price drop and this seemed it! I assumed that it was because Pioneer is trying to move them to make room for the next in line. Oh well....this one does everything I want (I say this and watch the next one have something I want)

unfortunately, the D3 does not have navigation stored on the harddrive. So if you want the navigation to show as your driving around, you have to have the navigation disc in. However, if you just need specific directions to 1 location, you can put disc in and load the route. Save it, then take the disc out to put your movie or music in. But again, you cannot run both navi and music/movie at the same time unless a direct route has been saved. This is why i chose NOT to purchase the Avic N3 and went with an eclipse unit. Also, make sure whoever installs the unit for you unlock it so that you can play movies and use the navi while driving. Otherwise, the handbrake has to be up.(legal reasons, but most shops know how to bypass it). This is of course assuming you want to be able to use it while driving.
