I decided on a plan B, for those days when my built in Infotainment Navigation system just doesn't want to work right. (most days, most places)
Ok, so maybe it isn't what you were expecting, but you've got to admit, it makes sense! After over 2 months of speaking to Chevy phone customer service and forum customer service, and following their advice precisely (went to my local service manager, with a 2 page document that outlines the problems) - and no response! It seems like the most reliable way to be sure to get where I want to go is to provide an alternate solution. Under $100, works every time, AND loads POIS the way most GPS units do.
Out of frustration, I built a wooden base (visible at the bottom of the unit) that fits the floor of the secret compartment and holds the Garmin in a good spot. The dash provides some shielding from satellite signals but the Garmin works well enough to be more practical than the $795 "newly improved" GM Nav unit.
Truly disappointed in GM on 2 counts:
1) poorly designed user interface, not just eh Nav, but the whole Infotainment System
2) no response to documented issues from anyone associated with Chevrolet, after i was assured by our forum customer service people that they would make sure the problems were brought to the right people's attention and would get a response.
Love the car, but the people that support it need to step up to the plate, especially on some items that a simple software edit could resolve.
IMHO,
Ed
