NOBODY out there can beat that with a stick! Anyway, long answer but I like things that are builtin, now that I have this new modern truck, compared to my old 96 Tacoma, so maybe I have gotten spoiled. The regular price is only $125 for that, so I am WAY ahead of the game compared to anyone else! Even at the regular price, that is barely over $10 a month for cellphone service. I get one year of service and 1500 minutes to use with a ton of data and text messages, and I get all of this for only $75 a year, with discount coupons. My phone is a phone and yes, I do use the camera function too, but that is it. I do not use mobile data, which is pretty much what I would need in order to use my phone for such things while driving, such as waze, and other things. But for me, the reason why I wanted a builtin navigation, was because I did NOT want to plug in my phone. And as others have mentioned, you have to purchase an upgraded map sd card from the dealer, unless someone out there has come up with a hack! Now there's a project for a good Tacomaworld tech!Ĭlick to expand.Yeah well, I am sure Waze is good, as I hear people talking about it all the time. It would be much better if it would show by order of distance away from current location, as again, the Garmin does. Also, the OEM navigation shows previous destinations in the order of when you last used them. I somewhat understand that, but heck, even if I wanted my passenger to look for me, she can't because it won't let me while the vehicle is in motion. That being said, I have to admit that Garmin is WAY better, such as, with the OEM unit, if I am driving down the road and I am wondering if there is a Costco gas somewhere nearby, it won't let me enter information while I am driving. I used to update them yearly, but I admit I haven't updated them in a couple of years because I have been using my OEM Navigation. I have had several garmins for years, and they come with free upgrades for maps. Yes, I wish I could buy a Garmin that would somehow plug into the back of the OEM Head unit, so I could then use Garmin.
