Default Nav question - Google Maps
Some nav systems are able to receive destinations directly from Google Maps — my BMW 335i is one.

Does this nav system have that feature?

Actually our cars can. You need the onstar app on your cell phone and then inside that app it pulls up google maps. Search for your destination then send it to your car! It's very easy. On the the 3LT onstar is free for 9 months or a year. But your car has to have nav regardless.

And if you are on your computer, you can use Mapquest and click "send to car" and it should send it over (through Onstar, you probably need to log in to Onstar during the process). I'm guessing that will only work with an active Onstar subscription.

You can send directly from MapQuest but not Googke Maps.
