It has its limitations, as I am sure you are aware, but like JSpira said, having the improved access to a lot of car features is really nice. The one thing I dislike about the navigation is the fact that you can't enter in POI; drilling down categories is a bitch and time consuming if you don't know where Navteq put the place you want to go to.
