<p>It does not require a contstant data connection just the one needed to download the directions. Cell location requires an intermittent connection gps only requires a one time connection then relies off the gps chipset.</p>

snazzy console with built in Navigation amongst other things. The new download
information for it is $200. No subscription available so far as I could tell
meaning they’ll want that every time. I think I’ll break out the
old Rand-McNally before I’ll do that update.</span></font></p>

price of the car went down more than $2,000 between the time I first looked at
it and when I bought it AND I got 0% interest which they weren’t offering
earlier. Since I knew the price before Chrysler announced their Employee Plus
Plus pricing it was gratifying to see it actually did mean a real discount (not
just off the sticker). Also it seemed appropriate for a geek to buy a car
that was “employee++”. </span></font><font size="2" color="navy" face="Wingdings"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:navy">J</span></font><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"></span></font></p>
