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?
