Audi navigation is very nice as with Bluetooth phone connection you can find a hotel or other pre selected gategory businesses and call the number if there is one. But this navigation system has a very bad flaw in it and if I had known about this I may have not installed it. THIS NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SEARCH BUSINESSES LIKE THE VERY CHEAP GARMIN I HAVE DOES. YOU CAN ONLY SEARCH WITHIN PRE SELECTED GATEGORIES, WHICH ARE RATHER USELESS. I could not believe this when I first used it but found out it really is true. Luckily the most I need is hotels and that gategory is in the system but as I travel a lot and sometimes need to find a grocery store I need to use my old garmin or iPhone to find a store and address for it.
