The nearest system that comes close to an Acura Factory Navigation system, would cost you $3500 from Alpine....and that does not even offer touch screen controls or voice activation, in addition to the $300 or so installation charges. The factory systems are a bargain for what it costs.
$400 offering that ? Ha ! Like saying driving a Mercedes S500 and driving a Toyota Echo are the same ! Yeah, right.
As I stated earlier, I drive Hertz rental cars equipped with the Hertz Neverlost Navigation system - similar to Garmin systems. For the price they may be okay, except that they grow really helpless when there is a lack of any signal like when passing through a tunnel or a thick group of buildings. High-end systems use dead-reckoning technology to operate even in the complete lack of any satellite signal. El-cheapo systems would only get you so much....you get what you pay for.
