Big Blue: 2005 GMC Yukon Denali

[Jake]

After a few days of using the Pioneer's built-in navigation, my initial impressions are that it's very good. I went from work (in Rosslyn) to P Street in DC last night, and elected to drive, because Metro doesn't have heated seats.

The snappiness of entering a destination was impressive. I hit "Places Near Me" and started typing the name of the bar. It found it quickly.

One challenge of nav systems in DC is their total inability to cope with traffic circles. Google Maps has only recently learned to navigate them with any sort of talent, and thankfully the Pioneer knows what's up as well. Directions are verbose and pretty clear... "In 700 feet, enter the traffic circle, and take the third exit onto New Hampshire Avenue" - okay, done. The stock GMC system was just like *ding* "I dunno LOL."

Anyway, it got me to and from just fine. I like it.
