New Car -- Nav system or not?

I had built-in Nav systems in three cars in a row… and didn’t get it in the current car.

Built-in maps are ALWAYS out of date.
I never learned how to get anywhere because the Nav always told me where to go.
Built-in maps cost $200 to get updates of… and even then they’re still out of date.
When you sell the car, they’re really out of date and the Nav system is a liability not an asset.
They cost $2000 or more and they’re always out of date.

I’ve done much better with a good set of road maps (yes, really).

The best GPS I’ve found is a friend with Google Maps at the other end of the phone.
