"I nearly went nuts trying to use the navigation system. I was driving my daughter to a birthday party at a house I had visited only once. I knew the general area, had the street address, but couldn't figure out how to get the nav to allow me to enter a new destination. After 15 minutes (and admittedly without consulting the owner's manual), I gave up, both frustrated and disappointed."

"On the downside, the factory navigation system is the worst system I've ever experienced!"

I don't understand why people say the navigation is so hard to use. I spent 15 minutes with it on my first day, figured out exactly how it works, and have had no problems with it ever since. The first quoted person didn't even bother looking at the manual, so I don't think she really tried. It's not too difficult to use the right knob to type in where you are going, and I've my 11 year old figured out how to put in directions just fine. Sigh, I think people are just priding themselves in being ignorant of technology sometimes.

Any comments? Was using the navigation in your X very difficult? Is the navigation really that bad?
