This is fuckign weird. I replied to this message but it didn't show up!?
Anyway, I use it about 50+ times a month... every time one my way to and from work. Always put in the directions on the navi in case I run into bad traffic or an accident, I can just hit the detour button...
Also helps to scope out twisties :P
Times that I've needed to use it because I didn't know where the place I was going was located... about three times a week. Also most useful to find places to eat and gas up around areas that aren't that familiar...

Does having chicks stare at it count as use? the screen, stare at the screen. perverts.

I use it every time I am in the car! I love that thing. It is also great on twisty roads you are not familiar with... I can see how the entire road in front of me is going to look, where the straights are, corners, tight turns, etc... it's like having co-pilot! The map is great!

I use it about 10-20 times per month. My previous destinations list is always full with "new" entries.

It's great for seeing the road ahead, once when I was on I35S from Mpls to KC, there was fog most of the way thru Iowa one early early morning. You could barely see more than a few car length ahead but you could see taillights even though the sun was just coming up. The freeway is pretty much straight south but I use the Navi to be certain the road was dead-on straight and I was able to get up to normal freeway speeds (much faster than the regular sparse traffic that morning) and I could actually tell when to slow down for curves (curves that were more curvy in the dense fog). It was "unique"; thiniking about pilots flying their planes thru the clouds w/o seeing what's up ahead.

I use it everytime I drive. I have all my personal addresses stored inside (with a PIN code) and a more general business addresses (where all my friends and relatives work) stored in user 2 (without a PIN code). It's very handy when you run into traffic. Plus when anyone calls me on the cell and asks, "where are you and when are you getting here?" I can simply quote them..."Im 3.2 miles away and I'll be at your door in 13 minutes."

In order words....I'd rather buy an Accord with a NAVI than a CLS/TLS without one. I'm never going back.

I actually use my navi quite often also. Even though I take the same road home from school and work, sometimes I have to detour and it's coo to see if there is any alternate routes available. I guess if you have it you use it. I also use it a lot when I travel out or need to find places to eat or so. Definitely worth the money

When I had my '01 with Nav I used it about 0.2 times per month. Yes, that is right, I used it 6 times in about 30 months. This was the reason I decided not to get it in the '03, it just didn't make sense for me.

Besides, I always know where I am at and where I am going... :P :P

Very true in this area as it would hardly show any maps. But who needs maps in the boonies...

Just out of curiosity, do you know this area or making a general comment??

I use it at least several times a day....which equals AT LEAST 60 times a month. I don't only use it for directions......I use it for looking up phone numbers and places. I love the navi and can't imagine purchasing any car in the future if navigation wasn't available on it.
