Yes, I do find the Lexus Nav system easy to use. However, it uses a DVD, not multiple CD's. Probably have to load a region because of memory considerations.

One interesting feature as that you enter a street name, the letters that the program doesnt think you need get blanked out on the screen. For instance, as you start to enter say "Bradford", more and letters get grayed out until when you reach "r", only "d" is the last possible active key left. Then a list of towns/cities with that street # and name is shown in a list. I guess there may be a problem with a new house being built on a new street.

Nav does say see dealer for DVD upgrades tho.
