Default 2011 Vette Navigation System Questions

Does GM have a standard navigation system across its platform, or do higher cost vehicles (like Escalade) have better nav systems? Specifically, how does the 2011 Corvette navigation system stack up? It didn't look all that appealing during the 2 minutes I spent with it at the dealership, and I think skipping this option will be a good savings of $2,000.

By the way, of the "Big 3" automakers, I'm not sure which one has the best navigation system available (but Ford sure does impress me). Does anyone know which automaker offers the most advanced vehicle nav package?

Most don't think much of the Vette Nav but they do like the integration with the HUD (if the car has HUD).

Talon90 did a comprehensive write-up on using the Vette Nav if you want to look through it:

The most often installed after market units are Kenwood (uses Garmin maps) and Pioneer.

It's the exact same one that they have been using for years. Go look at ANY Corvette with a nav (2005?) and you will see exactly what you are buying. I read an article that said to get a good price when they first came out, GM bought a **** load of units and still have stacks of them to install years later. It's functional but dated. I opted to not get it when I ordered my car. I was also not impressed when I checked it out.
