The '03 and '04 Accords, along with the '04 TL have good navigation!

I hear Lexus Nav is decent, and the Nissan/Infiniti birdview is pretty cool as well, but Honda/Acura have the best.

Touch screen, voice control, solid graphic display with simple to use interface. Infiniti requires you to type by using a joystick which means there is NO way to use it when driving. Lexus is #2 in my opinion only because I felt it was harder to use while in motion. Volvo's is a complete freaking joke because it is CD based.

Hope that helps.

The Alpine Nav system in the Honda/Acuras are 3rd generation nav systems. It has a 7 million points of interest data base and works off a 12 channel unit. The larger channel unit can re-route much faster than a normal 8 channel unit like in the second generation systems. The Denso Lexus Nav systems only have a 1.5 million points of interest data base.

Thanks to both Skull and Justin. Great information!

My wife just got Honda Accord EX V6 w/ Navi and the Nav system in it is very good (It's same as what comes in TSX).

I love the voice recognition feature. You can control everything from Nav, Climate Control, CD to Radio. Without taking your eye off the road or hand off the steering wheel. I just can't believe how much more useful it is than my TL-S Navi which has no voice recognition.
