OnStar turn by turn navigation

[Gordon Freeman]

Anyone used OnStar turn by turn navigation system? I still have a few months left on my free OnStar subscription and was thinking about trying the nav upgrade for a month for $9.95. we’re going to SC on a short vacation though it might be a good thing to have in addition to my Magellan GPS.

thanks....

I use mine frequently. Works fine.

I had it but I really didnt like it. It led me incorrectly two times pretty far from my destination... I found that a GPS works so much better and convenient... with Onstar, you get a couple little arrows and it is annoying as heck -- well at least to me it was. It worked on probably 18 routes (but 2 were completely wrong)...

Used it last summer along with the GPS. It had a few flaws, but at $10.00 a month I don't think its worth it unless you use it all the time. For one years cost you can buy a nice GPS, mine even has Bluetooth and goes car to car. I had factory navigation in my 07 Accord. It worked fine but was a costly option that I won't get again for the previously mentioned reasons. Plus Ilke where I mounted my portable GPS, on the lower leftside windshield, its easier to see and I had it hardwired in.

I use mine, and well, I don't think I'll be going past my free one year I got (long story).

When it works, it works REALLY well. The problem is about 1/3 of the time the directions never download to my car which makes it rather useless. And 99% of the time when it doesn't download to the car it is the times I REALLY need the navigation. Not happy about it.

Thanks guys I was just going to get it for a month then cancel it. Wouldn’t it be great if they incorporated HUD with GPS so the route was displayed on the windshield?

I have my Magellan GPS and have been able to make custom POI’s in Excel then import them into a format that can be read by the GPS. For example I made one that list all friends and family members. Downloaded a few too like all rest stops in the US and all Hard Rock Cafe’s in North America.

Never had any problems, always worked great the only problem is when you go from your original destination you have to go beck to the rode that you came from it will not recalculate by it self.

I would count on the OnStar more then any other GPS. The only way that you have arrive to the wrong place Is if you gave the person wrong addres.

But I would not pay the 10$ I will use my personal GPS

Thanks I called OnStar and got them to give me a 2 month trial without cost. Yea I know when I try to cancel they may give me a hard time but least I we’ll get to try it out. We leave out tomorrow morning for South Carolina. So using eNav I programmed in two destinations.

Well I used the eNav turn by turn on my G8 to take me to my hotel in South Carolina. But instead I ended up in a residential area. On the way home though it worked fine.
