Default Cheap A$$ NAV Upgrade

One of the things I don't like about the factory NAV system is a lack of traffic information. So, I load up Waze on my iPhone and put the iPhone in the ashtray. I now get the traffic and police reports.

Not unusual on luxury cars. If you think Jag is an embarrassment to drive check out the Bentleys--makes Jag looks good.. These guys believe wealthy Owners are technology stupid.

Actually, they believe wealthy Bentley owners don't worry about such pedestrian concerns...that's what the hired help is for. As long as the wine cooler is well-stocked they're happy.

I been using waze for probably a year or so now and its great. I used to disagree with the rerouting to avoid traffic, but after letting it to its thing it has saved me many hours sat on the interstate or highway in static traffic.
Being a realtorŽ, it is a valuable asset to me.
