I have the 8.4 screen without Nav. SWMBO who usually is the navigator likes her Garmin which she has become very comfortable using. It has voice activation, traffic warnings and Lifetime Maps etc. Doesn't bother me any to not have another image on the 8.4 system screen. So, all is well.
Of course I keep getting offers from FCM to activate my Nav feature. So, I am curious about a couple of things.
1) Does the Nav receive periodic updates like our Garmin? If so how often and is there a fee charged for each update?
2) Apparently you can get the activation code on e-bay considerably less expensive than factory.
Anyone ever do that? How does it work with updates?
I am pretty sure that we will stay with the portable Garmin but heck, you never know!
