It's about goddamn time. I've been praising Suzuki for including what is, essentially, a garmin nav unit as standard equipment on their SX4 cars that cost over a certain amount. This shit isn't that expensive, a stupid 3.5" touch screen nav that is halfway decent is only about 100-150 bucks these days.

I've had some kind of handheld GPS for several years now, and these things (while occasionally wrong) are very helpful to have in big cities or unfamiliar territory.

It's always pissed me off that car companies charge 2 grand for in-dash nav.

Nissan is doing the consumer a solid, giving a $400 option for a nice in-dash nav system with ipod control, aux input and other MP3 capabilities. It's about fucking time. I hope all the others follow suit quickly, cause these crazy nav systems are way overpriced.
