And it's a steet that runs clear across the city. I would say it's pretty outdated at best. I like the running compass though. I use a Delorme program on my laptop in my truck. Even it isn't perfect. But worlds better than the Crossfire unit. Also consider The Crossfire unit is a German, Becker unit. Which might explain why it doesn't seem to know the U.S. very well.
I used to have a Garmin Nuvi but now use a TomTom unit in my other cars and, while it has more bells and whistles than the factory unit in the Crossfire I find the German unit in my roadster knows the US pretty well
. Does that still make me "uninitiated"?
Is it perfect? No, but what is? No doubt that it will become totally outdated as time moves forward, considering there are no new CDs available for it. But I really couldn't care less. My car is a weekend toy and 99% of the time it's driven with the top down and the Magnaflow exhaust screaming. I rarely even turn on the radio.
