At some point in our Prius's history, somebody had the foresight to load our office as "Home" in the now-aged navigation system. A couple interesting things happened when I zoomed in on the POI icon.
First of all, it's still cool that some navigation systems show building shapes. I zoomed in further to see what else I could see and discovered something else.
The office complex we call home was once called MGM Plaza. Problem is MGM sold the entire thing in 2001, predating the 2004 Prius by 3 years. I wonder how otherwise out-of-date the navi data is.

Judging by that clock from 1982 I'd say there's much to be updated on that Prius.

Though it's old, it's still better than the navigation you get in the current BMW X3.

is that clock stopped, or are you really quick enough to zoom in and such AND take good pictures! It must be pretty user friendly, i know alot of the navs Ive dealt with are quite fussy with the controls.

Better graphics than on most new cars, which tend to remain perplexingly bad compared to any handheld unit.

68 mile roundtrip commute! Thats perfect considering the job you have! Well, unless you're driving a Prius...
