I'm concerned now over the NAV option; we have it in the wife's '09 Camry and it is amazing, so I want it in my next truck. A few Q's here, as I haven't spent any time with the '09 Dodge unit yet:

Does it have touch screen commands, where you can pan the map and select options with your finger tip?

Voice activated commands, where you push a talk button while on the go and state the commands?

Does it have a beep alert when you are approaching your turn?

Does it talk back, like "in 500 feet, make left turn on Main St"?

I've found the exact truck I would buy, but it has Uconnect Tunes instead of NAV; if the factory NAV isn't up to snuff, I'll stick with the UC Tunes and get a garmin. I do like the smooth integrated factory look, but it does cost you $900 more to get the NAV over the tunes...

I don't think it beeps.

(in 500 feet) YES (make left turn on Main St) NO

Not announcing the street names was the reason I started this thread. I wish it did and cant believe it dose not!

Wow, I'm going to have to check this thing out in person; like I said, the Toyota unit is so good and persistent, that sometimes I turn the voice down b/c it gets a little annoying. Plus, it gives you a little warning beep when you are approaching a turn or exit ramp.

Does the Dodge unit have Points of Interest, i.e. restaurants, gas etc?

Yes

My wife has had 2 Toyota Land Cruiser's. She feels the nav unit on my Dodge is the closest nav unit she has seen to her Land Cruiser.
