I am sure it has its drawbacks, but how can you compare a laptop to any nav system? Do you operate your laptop in a reasonable fashion while driving?

People pay monthly fees for SDARS and Tele-Aid all the time. I am not saying I am a big fan of monthly fees, but this is pretty nice technology... although it would be useless in fringe areas unless they have an HDD or DVD as a backup storage device. Work in progress I am sure, but still impressive telematics.
