I'll tell you that comparing car navigation (eg, mounted on the radio) only loses iphone screen size. Jesi comes to classic navigation that can be purchased at any Saturn, persists them in any way ... It is not expensive, but worth the money. Functionality such as the classic GPSie and the built-in phone with a large screen (bigger than the classic TomTom for similar money). Is very accurate and note: so far update is free - although you probably will change.
