I have had Navigation system in my car for three years and couldn't live without it. Now my lease is up and the cost of the in dash system has gone up considerabley SO I bought a new cell phone from Verizon with the GPS Navigation system- the cost of activation is $10/month - the Nav system on the phone is great and does all the car system does and more- it is voice activated but better than the car system it says "turn right on Elm stree" not just "turn right" like the auto system does; and I can carry it with me if I am on a walking trip - in NYC I can find the nearest restaurant or get directions to the theater I am looking for. My new car will not have Nav ($1000 to $3000) because I'll be using the phone..
