2009 Dodge Challenger R/T: Baby Steps and Leaps

If Goldilocks happens to score the keys to our Challenger, she could be bumming.  Sometimes with the Challenger's navigation system, the "just right" setting on the map scale is elusive. Case in point: although the system offers more than enough increments on the low (zoomed in) end (e.g. you have 150 yds and then 250 yds), the midrange adjustment is lacking. It jumps from 1/2 mile to 2 miles.

So sometimes you're either looking in too close or you're too far away to see the somewhat major roadways you may be looking for. Say, the ones that would be visible if this thing had a 1 mile setting. Other than that minor quibble, I find this nav system easy to use with its logical interface and clear vocal/visual prompts.

How up to date are the roads? My brother in law has an Ram with the navigation system and he complains all the time that the roads are not up to date.
