I thought this was pretty neat because you don't need to activate the navigation and enter an address...it'll simply tell you what street you are driving on.
That is neat, also shows how many satalites it is connected to. It worked just as you say, no 'route' active and no map CD in CD drive. If it askes for the CD you can take it back out after it has read it. One disappointment though, when it doesn't recognize the street it shows blank and it would happen on streets in my area that have been there for 18 years. Shows there are lots of gaps in our map info
