If you guys are not using Waze it's really fantastic. By far my favorite GPS app.

This x100. I recently drove from Northern to Southern California and ran both Audi nav and Waze the whole way. Waze picked the substantially faster route based on road conditions. And Audi spammed me with "road hazard ahead," "severe fire ahead," "traffic obstruction ahead," warnings for about 60 miles. I thought I was about to drive into a major problem--but absolutely nothing wrong with the road when I got there. Inability to get the directions in either display is a big downside, but the realtime routing is much better.
