Even with the latest DVD, the feature set of the GEN5 navigation in the '06-'09 ISx50 is very outdated, and pales in comparison to smartphone apps like Waze and Google Maps.
Well yeah obviously because this nav system doesn't tell you the best way to go with traffic included. Waze and google maps are awesome. I use them all the time. Only reason I was thinking about updating the system would be just in case I ever got lost somewhere with no signal. How would it be to update the nav system by the way?
