The usage of NAV

I just get my 04 TL/nav.
The nav is pretty cool, however I wonder if it will cost me more gas if I turn it on everytime. I can just leave it on if I drive to any unfamilar place if it cost too much. I'm broken by purchase this car
How are you guys using nav?

I have it on most the time but dont reallie use it and i still get around 370km per tank on Ultra94 and i just drive it normal without speeding it and things and I dont even think that the NAV system has anything to do with the gas because it just uses power from the battery, its like using a cd player while driving i guess...correct me if im wrong

I would imagine the electrical draw from the Navi system is inconsequential and that the engine is not running detectably harder due to added draw from the Navi.
I usually leave the Navi off (to minimize potential for screen burn-in, although the screen is LCD) unless I'm looking for an alternate route, going somewhere unfamiliar or want to use voice commands.

The navi is a gas hog, so make sure you turn it OFF if you don't need it!!
Seriously, turning on or off the navi has NO EFFECT on gas. Well, if you follow the navi's directions to go to a destination, sometimes you may end up spending more gas because it may direct you to take a longer route, particularly if you tell the navi to avoid tolled roads.
You really need to read the manual carefully to make full usage of the navi, which needs practice because it has many features and voice commands. Good luck!

I'm old school-- after all, I'm still playing cassettes, too.

And that was a good point kenny5 had about Navi sometimes using an indirect route-- you should choose the direct route (which I think is the default) to minimize time and gas consumption while driving around looking for destinations!
