2. You can't hack it. (It's hard)

First place IMO is Honda's navigation systems. You can hack it, it's touch screen, and it works. I remember our 2000 Odyssey was faster, and overall better then even today's 2005 LS430.

All in all though, now that I've learned that you can get the navigation updates for the BMW for next to nothing (price of a dvd) and that you can upgrade it manually, it moved BMW to second place.

On that note, I think this person

Edmunds.com Manager of Vehicle Testing Kelly Toepke

must be a -f-ing idiot. BMW is almost idiot proof with their navigation. Perhaps they weren't using the X5's?

They did use an X5 for this test
