For Canadian 5 owners, and those in US that did not opt for the $2K GPS option, I discovered this...

(using GPS with your notebook computer)
Nice big, color, screen (on your laptop) to see everything: detailed map, speed, driving directions (with voice), large visual bar to indicate distance to turn. If you have something like Auxmod, you can hook up the audio (and also play itune from your computer). Without Auxmod, you can still use your headphone to hear the directions - when to turn.
Additionally, you can search for gas stations, restaurants. I drove through some backroads with this over the weekend. It was so much fun! I just wish I have the proper mount for better viewing - I put it on the passanger seat for now.
