My friend has an Acura CL Type-S and he has a touch screen Navi that is very easy to use. Is the Navi in the G easy to use with out having a touch screen? Would you have preferred a touch screen?

In some aspects a touch screen would be nice. Moving the joystick is easy but sometimes it runs around too fast when you are trying to spell the street name though. At least you won't have to clean any greasy finger marks off of the screen.

Exactly. The touch screen would be easier when programming street addresses and such, but since in either car you can only do that when stopped it isn't a huge benefit. At least 95% of what I use my Navi for is done with 2 button presses and a couple joystick flicks.

Oh yea, and I haven't had to clean my screen yet, in 3K miles. =)

I was about to say-- my screen is still clean, and when I hit a letter, I know the one next to it won't accidentally be selected [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] It's intuitive, and easy to use. Once you get some miles on it, you can do it in your sleep.
