Just curious...for those of us with nav, we obviousely aren't always using it so I'm debating on whether to keep it normally in the up postion or down position.
I haven't had my car that long but I still can't decide which way I perfer. It's either the clean, elegant look with nav down or the high-tech, colorfull look with the nav up and the daytime map backround set to black. I also like the analog clock when nav is down but that hump on the top of the center stack bothers me for some reason when nav is down.
Just wondering what others do...

 

Always up, unless I park in the ghetto. I find it handy now because I just moved here, and it's nice to know where I am in relation to landmarks I know, etc. Lets me learn this city a LOT faster.

I leave mine up all the time. I only close it when I am parked on the shady part of town. The NAVI gets a lot of attention when I am on the road. People pull up and ask ?? about it all the time.

Always up! I also put it down when I am parked in a shady area. The nav besides looking cool has become another instrument to me. Just like my speedometer I look at it all the time to see how far to the next exit or which road is comming up next. The downside is that I've become dependent on it meaning If I dont have it I tend to zone out and miss an exit lol. Oh well Guess this means I need a nav system for the rest of my life. Damn life is tough!

 

Mine is always down. I only use it when I need to. The only gripe I have about the NAV is everytime you start up the car you have to press "Agree" with that safety bulletin crap.

Why is there no clock on the NAV when it is displaying the fuel economy? It looks like there was a spot drawn in for the clock, but it was never put there. Its on the map screen. Not a big deal, but pretty annoying, since the NAV blocks the analog clock. I like looking at distance to empty and fuel economy etc.

Too bad it doesn't have fuel consumption tho. On my other car, when the trip computer reads 16.0 gallons consumed, thats when the car runs out of gas. I think the ECM gets this value from the fuel injector flow rate or something like that. I found that to be much more useful than distance to empty or the fuel guage. (At least on the other car)

Is there such a thing as software updates for the trip computer?

 

Same as above, always up unless I'm parked in a questionable area.

Always up when I drive the car,
Always down when I park it.
The only reason I close it when the car is parked is because I don't want the screen to collect dust.

My previous automobile (ML 430) had it and I never used it unless showing people or using it. Mine is down most of the time, unless I want to see how much of the rainforest I can demolish in one trip, LoL. Too bad there isn't a clock on the Fuel economy page

 

Most of the time I like the extra attention so most of the time I leave it up.

 

I too am mesmerized by NAV!!! I leave it up whenever I'm driving, but recess it when it's parked. I'd like to try and avoid dust, as well as attention when it's not supervised!

Yea, shady areas are the only reason i put it down...Also if i take it to a hand wash place, i will put it down then as well so they dont scratch the screen or spray something on it.

 

Mine is usually down.
