The nav system is decent...and extremely quick to calculate compared to other in-car systems, and even gives real-time traffic detours. I'd say that Google Maps is better though (when my stupid Android Auto will actually pair up to it). Worth the extra $? Probably not, but it's thrown into a package with the current models. I will say that it's convenient to have in a non-service area (like camping in WV).Last item, one of my 2015 has the NAV.. I don't know if it is improved for the Gen 2, but I would not spend a dime on it, as it is in the Gen 1, frankly we pretty much don't use it, we use Google maps on the phone.. with the Gen 2 you can project onto the car screen (Android Auto, and the equivalent Apple app), and it works really well.
Try different USB cables, it took me 3 cables before I found a relaible cable. Apparently many USB cables are just charging cables and for some reason the data connection is not there or unreliable. With a good cable I have very relaible connections.The nav system is decent...and extremely quick to calculate compared to other in-car systems, and even gives real-time traffic detours.

It stays warm at idle due to post injection to keep the EGTs up so the emmisions systems will work properly. Those that deleted their Gen 1s found out the dramatic difference without that post injection emmisions heat. What's amazing is the car is so efficient even this extra fuel burn is not enough to drag MPG down too much.The factory tires are fine in the snow for the first winter season as evidence via performance through 5 feet of unexpected lake effect snow, life threatening conditions on I-90, but no national guard as we traversed - they were called out the next day. It was a true life threatening Donner Party situation and I was prepping to cannibalize other motorists after we ran out of Doritos.
Got first ever DEF warning in the middle of near blizzard conditions, 15 degrees F with snow blowing off the lake incredibly. Dumped half of the 2.5 gallons of DEF down the side of the car, just missing my bare feet and flipflops, since i didn’t fully extend the nozzle due to DEF n00b. My sons employer has ‘def at the pump’, i look forward to topping off the 2 or 3 gallons in the DEF tank this week, maybe during a yet another unexpected subzero snowfall.
Mpg is below 50 now with the winterized fuel. As i was calculating fuel burn rate with traffic stopped for hour(s) in blizzard due to wrecks/traffic/etc, I was happy to be in the diesel cruze. It stays warm at idle somehow.

Sadly, this is the bundled Samsung cable that came with it. I've found it's extremely picky with other USB cables though.Try different USB cables, it took me 3 cables before I found a relaible cable.
