Not trying to be a smart a$$, but if my '07 Nav. doesn't have an active destination programmed into it the "cancel" button will not illuminate. Could this be the problem?
BTW, the '13 Nav system has got to be better than the one in my car. You have to be an electrical engineer to even run the damnable thing.

If you don't have a current active destination in, Cancel is not active.
If you need to turn off nav, hit Source and then turn off unit by pushing Volume button.
Our 07 and our new 13 have the same unit..

Turn it off? The same reasoning as Windows? Push the START button to turn the program off?
Or;
Read and memorize the manual after you convert it to spoken English.
Or;
Read and memorize the well written How To by the CF member.
Or;
Do like I do, plot the trip on Yahoo Maps and carry the copy with you on trips.
The 'Vette NAV is a great piece of '70's Technology.

Single biggest disappointment of my 13GS is the Navigation system. It works but is painfully hard to use. An I-Phone GPS blows it away. The whole Nav screen is pretty worthless especially compaired to other Auto makers. Especially for the price tag.

Frankly, I don't understand why so many folks bash the Nav to pieces.
Admittedly it's far from the most intuitive system to use, but I find that once you learn it's quirky way of programming, it works just fine.
I've taken road trips from as short as 50 miles to as much as 900 miles, and it's instructions are accurate.
The Nav in my wife's 2014 Nissan Rogue has a nicer display, and is easier to program, but isn't any more accurate.
Is it a perfect 10, hardly, more like a 6.5, but then again we bought a race car for the street, not a state of the art luxury sedan.
In 2013 it was thrown in with the fairly inexpensive 2LT trim pkg. so I really can't complain.
Flame suit is on.

The nav system in my Jeep Wrangler and my Goldwing motorcycle are both Garmin based systems and I can have those programmed and going in just seconds. The GM based nav in my other 3 vehicles is a joke. GM should be ashamed to put such a system in their vehicles, especially for the price they want to charge for it. JB

We've used the factory nav for well over 100k miles, navigating most of the US and some Canada.
We have 2 Garmins, 4 cellphone navs, and 2 "other company" factory navs. All of them work most of the time, all of them do goofy things sometimes. They just have different advantages and disadvantages.
I happen to prefer the C6 system.

On the other hand, I used the unit in our 2011 a couple of months ago, and found it pretty simple and straightforward. I especially liked how it showed upcoming exits and POI's at those exits.
My 2010 Malibu came with Onstar for some trial period, and I completely detested the 'turn by turn' navigation through Onstar.
