Nokia Even Does Navigation Better!

Nokia N95 Vs Honda Navigation system.. - Share on Ovi

On my recent trip to China, I bought a cheap external LCD. I did not really have use in mind but it was quite a bargain so I kind of just took it..

Yesterday I was going to have a little trip to NJ I thought I set the LCD on the dashboard and connect my N95 8GB to it via supplied TV out cable.
I connected the TV out cable, the video now goes to the external LCD and I connected the audio to the car stereo.

Honda CRV has the navigation and the PCMCIA card support(up to 8GB, mp3 files only!) this system costs 2000$(no traffic info, no video playback, no web-browsing)

I didn't think about substituting Honda navigation system that's why I did not buy larger LCD. But I could even get an eight inch LCD and totally substitute the built in NAV.

With Nokia N95 not only I have the same NAVTEQ maps (NAVTEQ is a Nokia company now. Acquired on October 2007 for $8.1 billion). Nokia occasionally updates the maps. If you want to replace NAV DVD thru Honda they charge you 400$ for this. Plus with Nokia I can view the terrain as map, satellite and 3D. With Nokia I can watch video clips, listen to music and download new songs. I can run Nokia Internet Radio App and listen to 1900+ channels. I can get Live traffic view(Google maps, or Nokia maps). etc.. etc..

I really don't want to get into details here, but I personally will not even consider a built in navigation or any other navigation options other than a mobile device which I already pay and use.

When I think about how much money I save just because I use a Nokia device...
I can substitute a media player, mp3 player, car navigation system, a computer, etc..
