I don't think you are missing a whole lot..an I phone with the free Tom Tom app blows the Vette Nav system away. I would let it ride until I found an easy fix for it.

DVD good? In an almost 10 year old car, if the DVD has been in there all that time and not cleaned, I would expect trouble. Take the DVD out and see if you can copy all of the files to a temporary folder on your computer. A new DVD is going to be a lot less expensive than a new nav unit.

Default Clean it up

I was having a similar problem and I removed all the previous destinations.My girl friend was using my car and the Nav system was erratic. We removed the previous locations and the nav system operates as it should. The nav system in my car wanted to send me to the previous locations. Why,I don't know . When the previous locations were removed the nav system took me to the location I wished to go.The nav system drove me crazy until I mastered the usage. In my opinion,its not that easy to use until you play with it and learn the quirks. Hope this suggestion helps. Rod
