Which car manufacturers offer non-voice-activated Nav?

I'm just curious. I personally would not buy a nav system if it wasn't capable of voice recognition.

I think only Honda / Acura had the voice input.

Jaguar has had it for awhile I believe.

I know my moms Murano isn't voice activated. In fact, its not even a touch screen

I would definitely put touch screen before voice activation.
I've got both in the TSX's OEM navi, but didn't have voice in the CL-S. I rarely use the voice recognition thing. The one thing I use it for is to save myself a few 'clicks' when I want to display something in the map, like "Show Restaurants". Entering phone numbers for POIs is also easier using voice. However, doing any of this without a touch screen would be a royal pain in the ass.

Yup. I agree. My friend's 05MB ML500 doesn't have touch screen either.

Yeah it's got that stupid "pseudo-iDrive" knob...but I thought it was touch anyway. I guess I was wrong.

Is it voice-activated? I guess I could live without voice activation, but I probably couldn't justify the extra expense if I didn't have it (when we had a loaner TSX I used it all the time, it's way easier than pressing buttons). But I don't think I could live with NEITHER!
