Just for balance, I'll present a contrasting opinion: the center stack is a poor position for a nav system…too far out of line-of-sight to be useful, or safe. I have a 10+ year old Pioneer. There has not been a map upgrade for over five years now. Almost all of its functions are via the touchscreen and a multifunction knob. It takes too much attention away from the road to make the smallest adjustment. Even radio station tuning takes two operations!

However, the biggest issue for me is that, with the top down, the screen is completely illegible due to glare. When you can't see the screen, you can't do anything!
