Navi interior
 

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could post up a pic with the navi pkg in the Z. A night time shot or a daytime, but the Navi must be on. Any help would be appreciated.:p

Hey Devil heres a quick shot of the Nav screen. Sorry for the crappy quality, I took it with my iphone. Let me know if you need a different angle or something higher res. It's a great nav system, much better than my Acura was.

Looks like a cool video game

LOL! Yeah, it always reminds me of some of the earlier atari machines.

Yea its always one of the pluses the G37 has over the 335i it is one of the best factory nav systems available.

Too bad the nav does not come with a different 3rd guage versus the lame digital clock. Even just having an analog one with orange hands to match the other guages would look better imho. The nav has the time display option so that would cover a digital read out.

A large part of why I got the nav pkg was for the looks and have something to play with. Like the way it operates better than the one Lexus or BMW was using. Do not know how it compares to the newly released ones from those two since they have improved their offerings considerably. My guess is the Nissan one is behind them now.

Hoping not to be too off topic but how is the accuracy? specifically, ever have troubles with 'frontage roads' that parallel the highway? I use to use iguidance, which was pretty dang good at noticing one from the other, but my current Pioneer Avic F90BT is absolutely useless noticing when I forget/miss the exit. I've noticed missed exits and frontage roads to be the acid test for navi systems.

tron?

Off topic: BEST MOVIE EVER. Can't wait for the sequel.

Hey very nice shot I love it, can u get a shot of the steering wheel with the gauges and Navi. A lot to ask for, plzzzzzzzzzz ;)

Tah da!

I meant like a real life shot, lol. Thanks anyway Banningz

That is a real life shot.:rofl2:

No like somebody who actually owns the car, this looks like a sketch lmaoo even tho it's not.:pics:

Actually, I think that image has been stitched together from several images. It's too easy to see too many things in the cabin, some views and angles should be more obstructed. And I'm also pretty sure they cut the car in half to get a shot like that.

I saw a few videos of the navi with the gauges and man this car lights up like a christmas tree. Best interior ever. I think the G37 and GTR interiors are well done as well, Nissan is flawless in interior design.

Happen to have that video on hand or the link to it? I've been dying to get a better feel for the flow of the navi system. I've read the manual but there is only so much you can get from that before your eyes turn square.

Watch at 2:20 YouTube - nissansportz 2008 AGM Featuring the Nissan 370Z

Helpful, but really I'd love for someone on the forum to make a usage video *hint* *hint* *wink* *wink*.

I know, I would do it, but I don't have a Z.lol I wish I had one, I'm trying to get someone to record a walk around and record the interior as well.

OK, here you go - beware it is long. Felt very dorky commentating a nav video. I actually feel a little bad for slamming "Mr. S-Mode" since it is easy to accidently B.S. when you are trying to say what stuff does on the fly. But feeling bad only lasted a moment because it still cracks me up every time I listen to his youtube.

BIG DISCLAIMER
Nothing in here is claimed to be factual. I have only had the car for a couple of days and the way I describe something could be completely off.

:excited: Cheers mate, you are king! :excited:

I want that navi! I'll get the 370Z later, but I want that navi now! That thing is heads above my f90bt, quicker, better looking, you name it.

Thanks again for making the video, cute joke, and dictation wasn't bad it all. When it seems like every kid with a webcam thinks he's hot stuff, yours was clean and clear. Love to see more of em ;)

:icon18: - I thought the s-mode only changes the handing!

Thanks for doing this. Looks like a much nicer nav system than in my 2007 350. A few more questions:

- Does it give you caller ID on the screen for incoming calls?
- Can you cycle through previous destinations while the car is moving? My 07 only lets you cycle through the at 5 destinations that fit on the screen - it does not let you cycle through more previous destination listings than that while moving.
- And can you look up restaurants and such while moving? What about adding a destination address while moving?

I will check on the way to work tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks for the comments. I have had a BMW and Lexus one and this one is by far the best. Other makers have really upgraded their systems as of late though, so to be fair we would have to see their '09 versions.

The S-Mode also deploys the rear spoiler; look in your rearview mirror next time you are driving past 45-mph to see it rise.

Great Video, one thing bothers me, why is the clock in the gauge cluster out of sync with the clock on the Nav screen?

They are independently set. Sucks. I wish the nav pkg came with a different third guage. I had them set in sync when I picked the car up.

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to put that together.

When moving you can use the following destination functions: :)
-Previous destination
-Nearby places (restaurants, gas, etc)
-Address book
-Previous start point
-Stored destinations

It works real nice from the steering control. On my previous car, the damn thing was basically worthless once you were moving except for stored destinations.

Booooo what happened to the video?

Not sure, I still see it.

Hmmm.. Maybe the old iPhone is crapping out on me

EDIT: it was.. no worries

Great job with the video! Thanks!

Thanks for the video PAR, It helped me get a good idea of how the Navi set up is and works.

Thanks a lot friend

I hope this helps. I have posted these before, but these relate to this thread well:

They had the navi on retarded map mode and zoomed way in - was not sure how to get it to bird's eye. Feel free to browse other pic in my album.

I'm with you on that. Houston seems to be a lot more frontage-road centric than other major cities, maybe the guys who design these things never test them in a city like Houston.

"Frontage road centric" I think is a vast understatement, because I know I've seen some next to two lane highways! Don't get me wrong, they're not a bad idea, just a PITA for gps and navi and street racing hooligans. Guess frontage roads and strip malls is what happens with no zoning laws :icon14:

I came from using iGuidance 4, which was a lot better at handling frontage roads. I'm pretty sure it had a tolerance engine that would make decisions about whether or not to 'snap to' the highway/road based on sat accuracy, speed, and nearby roads. The unit I use now on the other hand i think just has the blanket "if the gps says it's within 5 meters of the road, it must be on the road". Of course all the construction in/around Houston doesn't help at all. How did the head of DOT put it? Something like "doing open heart surgery without bypass and with the patient fully conscious?" Thank god I don't have to commute...yet.

Edit: I'm liking the Z red interior lighting more and more. I use to hate all red, associated it with that BMW/Merc (can't remember which) red in the late 90's interiors. That was a really blood red and I just hated it for whatever reason. I think the Z's is more orange, more subdued and soft. Not a huge fan of the Mustang green. Nice real life pics for letting me see that orange/red.

can you put the CF cover back on after you put a card in or is it a 'blank' that takes up the slot?

Very nice interior pics.
