My only complaint is I purchased a 2015 Dec 22 2016 so it's just about a year old I have put in a couple address or streets that I have known to be there for over 30 years and it can't find it or one time it took me to the middle of nowhere had to use my phone to get me out. Also sometimes the arrow icon gets mixed up and isn't even following the road. Went to GM they said no problem just pay the 170.00 bucks and the update will fix you up. I said what why should I have to pay for a update on a car that's barely a year old. I said never mind I'll by a garmin it's cheaper.

The stock nav unit blows, I recommend sticking with google maps.

Gotta agree with ciscovet, the stock nav unit blows. Constantly forgets my settings. Constantly switches from "heading up" to "North up" on the map. Sometimes fails to bring up the address entry screen, able to take only spoken input. Spoken input blows. Sometimes address entry screen changes from separate boxes/fields for city, street, and number, to a single, one-line address entry box that seems totally ignorant of existing addresses, cannot auto-complete, and if you get lucky, it recognizes the entire address after you have laboriously typed it in.

Have twice taken in for service. First time the dealer said all it needed was a SW update. No dice. Second time dealer said they can't replicate the problems. I gave up -- don't have enough time to work half-time for GM quality control. So I just cross my fingers whenever I try to use it.

Although I originally like have the Navigation in the car this type of option is obsolete IMHO. The smart phone is now miles ahead for this and the map updates are continuous and free. GM charges $200 or so and will probably be out of date the day you install.

Although I haven't had any problems with the NAV in my 2014 other than the lady's speech impediment and her sometimes getting her right and left reversed, I agree that streaming from a smart phone is the way to go in this day and age. But, I'm not going to buy a 2017 just so's I can do that.

California resident Julio Ceja is seeking a class action lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of placing profit before consumer safety by choosing not to implement a lock-out mechanism that would disable an iPhone's functionality when being used behind the wheel by an engaged driver.

I agree with the OP...the logic my Volt NAV is inferior to several stand alone NAVs. Especially in local navigation and recalculation, it makes puzzling choices and may take you to strange routes. Its only advantage is convenience. The Garmin makes much better decisions on routes and recalculations.
