Macguy,
I just wanted to provide a little clarification.
The in-dash Nav system does work with out an active OnStar subscription using its own individual mapping system. You can check for your vehicles NAV updates here: www.gmnavdisc.com.
Without an active OnStar subscription the only features lost are those connected via a direct connection. For example, the Turn-by-Turn (over the speaker voice commands), Destination Download (directions downloaded by an OnStar Advisor to your vehicle, if compatible), or E-Nav (sending directions to the vehicle via MapQuest or the RemoteLink application). You will still be able to input the directions on your in-dash Nav screen.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

I wondered which maps the system uses, so I looked it up.
NAVTEQ supplies the maps and the new Stingray is included on the map updating page from GM:

So far I have not found which GPS manufacturer supplies the underlying hardware/software for the installed nav system. Maybe Paul knows.
