Blind spot Drivers & NAV
Anyone w/ NAV find more drivers pacing you in your blind spot, especially at night? I can't say for sure but presumably they're just checking out the NAV LCD and don't even realize they're doing it. This is happening way to often to be coincidence, and it's pretty frustrating... not to mention pretty stupid too. Anyone else having this problem?

Re: Blind spot Drivers & NAV
I don't know about while driving, but I noticed a lot of cars stop a little bit behind me when we get to a red light. Actually, on one occasion, this SUV stopped somewhere around my rear tire and then rolled few more inches forward. At that point I look over and see two young guys talking and one of them is pointing on my car. I thought they wanted to say something so I rolled down my passenger window, and the SUV driver goes "Hey, is that the NAV system, this thing is so cool, you have an awesome car..."
My guess is, if people drive in your blind spots they either checking out your NAV or just admiring your "spaceship...."
I mean, a lot of cars have NAV systems, but we have the coolest looking one - the pop-up screen - you must admit that's a cool feature....

Occasionally I find myself behind a minivan or SUV with the LCD flipped down from the roof watching a movie and I get up close to see if I can recognize what they're watching...often times something from Disney.

Yep, sometimes people pace me at an angle where I think they are looking at my Navi.
